Abstract
Aims: 1. To examine the diagnostic accuracy and outcomes of DBT, in women with symptoms or signs of breast cancer and/or family history of breast cancer, in comparison with DM.
2. To examine the diagnostic accuracy and outcomes of DBT in the subgroup of women with dense breasts who have symptoms or signs of breast cancer and/or family history of breast cancer, in comparison with DM.
3. To examine the additional diagnostic value of breast ultrasound, used in addition to either DBT or DM in the above-described populations including the subgroup with dense breasts.Aims: 1.
