Abstract

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a new modality that assists in detection of breast cancer. However, benign masses are also detected more easily by DBT and may require further workup. This article reviews typical imaging features of non-calcified benign masses on DBT. We also discuss the management of these benign masses. Knowledge of the imaging features of benign masses on DBT is required to minimize unnecessary callbacks.
