  • Title: Computed tomographic mammography. Diagnosis of mammographically and clinically occult carcinoma of the breast.
    Author: Sibala JL, Chang CH, Lin F, Jewell WR.
    Journal: Arch Surg; 1981 Jan; 116(1):114-7. PubMed ID: 6258536.
    Abstract:
    If breast cancer can be detected early, while it is still localized and before it can be palpated, the prognosis for cure is excellent. Heretofore, conventional mammography has been the only means available to detect cancer at such an early stage. Two cases of minimal breast carcinoma measuring less than 5 mm in diameter have been detected and correctly diagnosed using computed tomographic mammography (CT/M). Both cases occurred in fatty breasts and were clinically and mammographically occult. These cases demonstrate the value of CT/M in the diagnosis of minimal breast carcinoma that would have been missed otherwise.
