Breast CT (computed tomography) is a specialized imaging technique used to visualize the internal structures of the breast in three dimensions. It allows for detailed imaging of breast tissue, which can be helpful in the early detection of breast cancer and other abnormalities. Breast CT involves the use of X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the breast, which are then reconstructed into a 3D image by a computer. This allows for a more comprehensive view of the breast tissue compared to traditional 2D mammography. Research in the field of breast CT aims to improve the accuracy and efficacy of this imaging technique for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. This includes developing better imaging protocols, optimizing radiation doses, and enhancing the interpretation of images to detect abnormalities. Overall, breast CT research is focused on advancing the capabilities of this imaging technology to improve early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients.
