Cone-beam breast computed tomography

Summary

Breast cancer screening is usually performed using full-field digital mammography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, computed tomography (CT) scans, ultrasound imaging, or a biopsy may also be used to investigate breast cancer. Cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) can be used to create high-resolution, three-dimensional images of breast tissue.

Health Technology Wales researchers searched for evidence on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of cone-beam computed tomography for breast imaging and screening.

Based on the evidence identified, HTW’s Assessment Group concluded to progress this topic to Evidence Appraisal.
