This article discusses the limitations of current imaging modalities in detecting and characterizing tumors in breast tissue. It then explores some potential advanced applications in digital mammography, such as contrast-enhanced mammography, breast tomosynthesis, and dual modality mammographic fusion, that are being investigated to capitalize on the strengths of the digital platform and to realize fully the potential benefits of enhanced detection anticipated from digital mammography.
