Article Synopsis
- Conventional mammography struggles to differentiate between different types of x-rays, necessitating breast compression to improve image clarity and separate overlapping structures.
- The study evaluates the efficacy of diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI) at varying levels of breast compression, using 11 tissue specimens and assessing lesion visibility as scored by five radiologists.
- Results indicate that while fully compressed DEI images showed no significant difference in visibility compared to images with a 25% reduction in compression, there was a notable difference when comparing fully compressed images with those having a 50% reduction, particularly in scoring benign lesions, suggesting potential benefits in patient comfort and imaging accuracy.
