Dual-energy subtraction for contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis
We have developed a dual-energy subtraction technique for contrast-enhanced breast tomosynthesis. The imaging system consists of 48 photon-counting linear detectors which are precisely aligned with the focal spot of the x-ray source. The x-ray source and the digital detectors are translated across the breast in a continuous linear motion; each linear detector collects an image at a distinct ang...
متن کاملDual-energy contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis--a feasibility study.
Contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CE-DBT) is a novel modality for imaging breast lesion morphology and vascularity. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of dual-energy subtraction as a technique for CE-DBT (a temporal subtraction CE-DBT technique has been described previously). As CE-DBT evolves, exploration of alternative image acquisition techniques will contri...
متن کاملDual-energy contrast-enhanced mammography.
The degree of vascularization in breast lesions is related to their malignancy. For this reason, functional diagnostic imaging techniques have become important in recent years. Dual-energy contrast-enhanced mammography is a new, apparently promising technique in breast cancer that provides information about the degree of vascularization of the lesion in addition to the morphological information...
متن کاملSegmentation methods for breast vasculature in dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis
Dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (DE CE-DBT) uses an iodinated contrast agent to image the three-dimensional breast vasculature. The University of Pennsylvania has an ongoing DE CE-DBT clinical study in patients with known breast cancers. The breast is compressed continuously and imaged at four time points (1 pre-contrast; 3 post-contrast). DE images are obtained by a ...
متن کاملcontrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in sacroiliitis
conclusion fs t2 w and ce fs t1 w sequences of axial planes were the most useful sequences in determination of active sacroiliitis. therefore, in patients with renal failure or allergy to contrast media, fs t2 wi can be obtained to detect active sacroiliitis. objectives the aim of this retrospective study was to assess the value of different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences in evaluat...
