Cone-beam breast computed tomography (CT) is a specialized imaging technique used for the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. This imaging modality involves the use of a cone-shaped X-ray beam to create detailed 3D images of the breast tissue. This allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of breast abnormalities, such as tumors or cysts, compared to traditional 2D mammography. Cone-beam breast CT is typically used for women who have dense breast tissue or are at high risk for developing breast cancer. It can provide a more detailed and accurate assessment of breast lesions, allowing for earlier detection and more precise diagnosis. This technology is still being researched and developed, but it shows promise as a valuable tool in the field of breast cancer detection and diagnosis.
