Is Digital Mammography better than Film/Screen Mammography?
Yes. According to the New England Journal of Medicine (Oct 27, 2005, Vol 353, No 17), digital mammography is shown to be superior in imaging pre-menopausal and peri-menopausal women and women who are age 50 and younger. It is also better for imaging women with dense breasts due to its increased sensitivity. In no category of their testing did digital mammography perform worse than film mammography.
