The data also suggests that 3D mammograms could reduce the incidence of advanced cancer diagnoses. DBT reconstructs pictures of the breast taken from different angles into 3D images, whereas DM makes pictures of the breast from two angles. YSM radiologists at Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) adopted the new DBT technology in 2011.
