Pathologic Outcomes of Architectural Distortion on Digital 2D Versus Tomosynthesis Mammography

Abstract

Architectural distortion is more commonly detected on DBT than DM and is less likely to represent malignancy on DBT. Architectural distortion on DBT is less likely to represent malignancy if there is no sonographic correlate; however, biopsy is warranted even in the absence of a sonographic correlate, given the nearly 30% risk of malignancy in this setting.
