Mammography Section 11 - Digital Breast
Tomosynthesis (DBT) UPDATED ACTUAL
Questions and CORRECT Answers
2D FFDM - CORRECT ANSWER - Conventional digital mammography
2D Plus 3D / Combo - CORRECT ANSWER - 2D digital mammogram and 3D
tomosynthesis images are acquired
3D - CORRECT ANSWER - Three-Dimensional Breast Tomosynthesis
3Ds / 3D plus C-View - CORRECT ANSWER - Only tomosynthesis images are acquired,
and a synthesized 2D image is created. Both images are interpreted together. This is the proposed
new screening indication for use.
ACR Phantom Dose - CORRECT ANSWER - Regulatory dose limits are based on
phantom dose (MQSA)
AEC - CORRECT ANSWER - Automatic Exposure Control. A method of limiting the
amount of radiation a patient will receive.
Ag - CORRECT ANSWER - Silver
ACD - CORRECT ANSWER - Average Glandular Dose
Al - CORRECT ANSWER - Aluminum
ART - CORRECT ANSWER - Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques, a method of
reconstructing tomosynthesis images
, Accession Number - CORRECT ANSWER - A DICOM term that refers to a RIS
generated number that uniquely identifies a visit to a site by a patient.
Affirm - CORRECT ANSWER - The breast biopsy guidance system for the Selenia
Dimensions
Angle (Tube Rotation) - CORRECT ANSWER - The tube rotation angle is angle between
the line connecting 'the center of rotation and the source' and the zero degree line.
Angular Range - CORRECT ANSWER - The difference in the first and last projection
angle of a tomosynthesis acquisition.
Bit-Depth - CORRECT ANSWER - Number of values that can be assigned to a single
pixel in a specific digital system, expressed in bits.
BIRADS - CORRECT ANSWER - Breast Imaging Reporting And Data System
Biopsy Guidance Module - CORRECT ANSWER - Holds and operates the biopsy device.
Responds to commands from the Biopsy Control Module to move the device into position and do
the biopsy.
Bi-weekly - CORRECT ANSWER - Every two weeks
CAD - CORRECT ANSWER - Computer aided detection. Software algorithm that marks
areas with characteristics suggestive of breast malignancy.
CC - CORRECT ANSWER - Cranio Caudal
