Breast Tomosynthesis

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2011
Digital mammography has been well-evaluated for the diagnosis of breast cancer. The scientific data show that mammography alone, especially in dense breast parenchyma, has its weaknesses. These weaknesses are due to the low contrast of tumors in comparison with the surrounding parenchyma and the overlying structures that mask tumors.

Algebraic tomosynthesis reconstruction

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
In this paper, a fast, accurate and memory-saving Tomosynthesis algorithm is presented based on the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART). In this approach, a one step ART iterative reconstruction takes the place of the commonly used two step Tomosynthesis reconstruction and deblurring processes.

Digital Tomosynthesis of the Chest

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2008
Digital tomosynthesis is a technique that generates an arbitrary number of section images of a patient from a single pass of the x-ray tube. It is under investigation for application to a number of clinical detection tasks, and has recently been implemented in commercial devices for chest radiography.

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

2015
Technological advances have resulted in the replacement of traditional film-screen mammography with digital mammography, which has been shown to be more accurate in younger women, in those with dense breasts and in pre- and peri-menopausal women [1]. However, one of the major limitations of mammography remains, that is the issue of overlapping breast ...

Introduction to Tomosynthesis

2017
Mammography is X-ray imaging of the breast. The technique works because different components of the breast absorb X-rays in different amounts, generating an image in which fat, fibrous, and glandular tissue; soft tissue lesions; and calcifications can be identified.

Coronary angiography with flashing tomosynthesis

European Heart Journal, 1985
Thirty-four patients with coronary artery disease were studied with standard 35 mm coronary cineangiography and flashing tomosynthesis, to assess the value of the latter technique to detect stenotic coronary arteries. All occluded vessels and all coronary stenoses seen by cineangiography were also found by flashing tomosynthesis.

Artifacts in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2018
Artifacts in digital breast tomosynthesis and synthesized 2D imaging reduce image quality. This article describes the appearance of these unique artifacts, reviews their causes, and discusses methods to ameliorate these artifacts.Artifacts in digital breast tomosynthesis and synthesized 2D imaging can obscure important findings on mammograms.
