Breast Mass Characterization Using 3‐Dimensional Automated Ultrasound as an Adjunct to Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the effect of 3‐dimensional automated ultrasound (3D‐AUS) as an adjunct to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) on radiologists' performance and confidence in discriminating malignant and benign breast masses.
