Abstract
This pilot study compared cone-beam breast CT to mammography regarding radiation dose, breast coverage, and image quality. Results showed similar radiation doses and detection of masses/calcifications between the two methods. Cone-beam breast CT provided better coverage in certain areas but poorer coverage in the axilla. The study concludes that cone-beam breast CT effectively images the entire breast with comparable radiation dose to mammography.

Abstract
Dedicated breast CT is being increasingly used for breast imaging. This technique provides images with no compression, removal of tissue overlap, rapid acquisition, and available simultaneous assessment of microcalcifications and contrast enhancement. In this second installment in a 2-part review, the current status of clinical applications and ongoing efforts to develop new imaging systems are discussed, with particular emphasis on how to achieve optimized practice including lesion detection and characterization, response to therapy monitoring, density assessment, intervention, and implant evaluation. The potential for future screening with breast CT is also addressed. KEY POINTS:

Abstract
Dedicated breast CT is an emerging 3D isotropic imaging technology for breast, which overcomes the limitations of 2D compression mammography and limited angle tomosynthesis while providing some of the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging. This first installment in a 2-part review describes the evolution of dedicated breast CT beginning with a historical perspective and progressing to the present day. Moreover, it provides an overview of state-of-the-art technology. Particular emphasis is placed on technical limitations in scan protocol, radiation dose, breast coverage, patient comfort, and image artifact.
