When it comes to the use of mammography skin markers in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) or 3-D mammography, care has to be taken to use the correct markers. With many sites performing both a full field digital mammogram (2-D) and a 3-D exam at one time, many sites are using the markers that they have had for 2-D exams. What many radiologists did not realize is that the older markers are not ideal for the 3-D images.
