Digital tomosynthesis: technique

Martin J Yaffe et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2014 May.

Abstract

Digital breast tomosynthesis is an extension of digital mammography that produces quasi three-dimensional reconstructed images from a set of low-dose x-ray projections acquired over a limited angular range. The quality of the reconstructed image and the dose to the breast are dependent on the angular range and number of projections, the dose used per projection, and detector resolution and noise characteristics. This article discusses various aspects of tomosynthesis optimization.

Keywords: Digital mammography; Digital tomosynthesis; Optimization; Reconstruction.
