Upstaging Rates, Management Strategies for Radial Scars on Screening DBT

Imaging Technology

Bahl and AJR coauthor Claire Crowley , MB, BCh, BAO, MSc, studied patients who underwent CNB showing radial scar after screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and digital mammography (DM) (January 1, 2013–December 31, 2020). Patients without surgical excision or at least 2 years of imaging follow-up after CNB were excluded.
