In the studies by Good et al. [47] and Gur et al. [48] there was no specific information on the model/name of DBT or FFDM system(s) used, but technicalities of the DBT unit was the same as for the Hologic investigational unit based on the Selenia platform.
In the study by Waldherr et al. [51] the system had similar technical description as the clinical unit, but the model/name was not presented.
