Study suggests digital direct radiography

Cancer Care Ontario recently announced, based on an independent study, that mammography using digital direct radiography (DR) is significantly more effective than mammography using digital computed radiography (CR) at detecting breast cancer.

Sunnybrook uses, and has always used digital direct radiography (DR) for mammography.
