Is there any added value to substitute the 2D digital MLO projection for a MLO tomosynthesis projection and its synthetic view when a 2D standard digital mammography is used in a one-stop-shop immediate reading mammography screening?

Objectives: Breast cancer screening consists of batch interpretation of two-view (cranio-caudal CC- and medio-lateral oblique MLO) digital mammography (DM) per breast. The DM-MLO view was substituted by an MLO-digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and its synthetic (2D-synthetic mammography (SM)-MLO) view. The performance of this hybrid protocol was evaluated in a one-stop-shop screening visit, providing immediate reading and additional work up.
