The results of this study show that recall rates and the rates of invasive tests performed were lower in the digital mammography group than in the screen-film mammography group, whereas no significant differences between the groups were observed for the overall cancer detection rate

Currently, no standard method exists for breast percent density (PD) estimation on three-dimensional reconstructed images; until the emergence of such a method, PD could be estimated on central digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) projections if DBT were to replace digital mammography in clinical practice
