Abstract
Digital mammography separates the processes of image acquisition, processing, and display, which allows for the optimization of each process. The result addresses some of the limitations of screen film mammography. This work reviews the advantages of the decoupling of the processes and the clinical trials comparing digital mammography with film-screen mammography in the screening setting. Advanced applications of digital mammography, such as contrast-enhanced digital mammography and tomosynthesis, are also discussed.
