Abstract

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plays an important role in medical imaging, especially in breast cancer screening and diagnosis. This article delves into the distinctive features of DBT, which surpass traditional 2D mammography in both sensitivity and specificity, resulting in clearer and more accurate breast imaging, thus improving breast cancer's detection rate and diagnostic accuracy. Despite these advantages, DBT faces limitations, including heightened radiation exposure, increased cost, and image processing and interpretation complexities.This article, drawing from theoretical frameworks and case studies, uncovers the potential of emerging technologies like deep learning to improve the reconstruction of two-dimensional images, bolster the progression of DBT, and drive advancements in breast screening technology. Through the combination of deep learning technology and DBT 3D data, future research can be dedicated to generating more accurate 2D images, thus further improving the efficiency and accuracy of breast cancer screening. Meanwhile, the introduction of the DCGNN model is anticipated to revolutionize deep feature extraction specifically for DBT-s2D image data, potentially leading to significant breakthroughs in this field.
