    Objective: To date, few studies have compared the diagnostic performance\nand visibility of microcalcifications obtained using digital breast tomosynthesis\n(DBT) with those obtained from full-field digital mammography\n(FFDM). The visualization and characterization of microcalcifications with\nDBT remain controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the\nvisibility of microcalcifications and determine whether DBT exhibits a\ndiagnostic advantage for visualizing microcalcifications over FFDM. Methods:\nWe retrospectively reviewed 120 cases including DBT and FFDM\nimaging (60 histologically verified as breast cancers and 60 as benign microcalcifications\nor normal). DBT images with a wide scan-angle of..................
