Geographic Analysis of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Availability in High- and Low-Deprivation Areas

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship between neighborhood deprivation and the availability of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) at FDA-accredited breast imaging facilities. Their findings indicate that while most facilities provide DBT regardless of neighborhood deprivation levels, significant disparities exist in weekend service availability and online scheduling, suggesting potential areas for improvement to enhance access for underserved populations.
