Dual-Modality Breast Tomosynthesis [PDF]
To evaluate the clinical performance of a hybrid scanner that uses dual-modality tomosynthesis (DMT) and technetium 99m sestamibi to provide coregistered anatomic and functional breast images in three dimensions.A prospective pilot evaluation of the scanner was performed in women scheduled to undergo breast biopsy after institutional review board ...

Tomosynthesis for large additive manufacturing parts
X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is up to now the golden method for non-destructive quality inspection of additively manufacturing (AM) parts. Indeed, the method gets rid of the complexity of shape and high surface roughness typical of AM parts ...

A comparison of stereotactic and tomosynthesis‐guided localisation of impalpable breast lesions
Introduction Impalpable breast cancers require precise pre‐operative lesion localisation to minimise re‐excision rates. Conventional techniques include hookwire insertion using stereotactic guidance.

X-ray absorption tomography employing a conical shell beam [PDF]
We demonstrate depth-resolved absorption imaging by scanning an object through a conical shell of X-rays. We measure ring shaped projections and apply tomosynthesis to extract optical sections at different axial focal plane positions.

Tomosynthesis for diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases: a systematic review
Digital tomosynthesis is a radiological method having an intermediate position between x-ray and computed tomography (CT). Benefits with the imaging technology include improved image quality, post-processing (reconstructed to 1 mm thick slices), minimal

The TOMMY trial: a comparison of TOMosynthesis with digital MammographY in the UK NHS Breast Screening Programme--a multicentre retrospective reading study comparing the diagnostic performance of digital breast tomosynthesis and digital mammography with digital mammography alone. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a three-dimensional mammography technique with the potential to improve accuracy by improving differentiation between malignant and non-malignant lesions.
