Hyperspectral X-ray imaging for scatter removal in mammography
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of hyperspectral X-ray imaging i.e, an imaging modality where spectral information on detected X-rays is available, for the removal of scatter in mammography. Features that suggest the presence of cancer are often low in contrast or small in size and therefore a good image quality is required in order to locate them. Current mammography system...
متن کاملMaterial-specific analysis using coherent-scatter imaging.
Coherent-scatter computed tomography (CSCT) is a novel imaging method we are developing to produce cross-sectional images based on the low-angle (<10 degrees) scatter properties of tissue. At diagnostic energies, this scatter is primarily coherent with properties dependent upon the molecular structure of the scatterer. This facilitates the production of material-specific maps of each component ...
متن کاملScatter correction for positron emission mammography.
In this paper we present a scatter correction method for a regularized list mode maximum likelihood reconstruction algorithm for the positron emission mammograph (PEM) that is being developed at our laboratory. The scatter events inside the object are modelled as additive Poisson random variables in the forward model of the reconstruction algorithm. The mean scatter sinogram is estimated using ...
متن کاملA computer-aided design mammography screening system for detection and classification of microcalcifications
This paper presents a prototype of a computer-aided design (CAD) diagnostic system for mammography screening to automatically detect and classify microcalcifications (MCCs) in mammograms. It comprises four modules. The first module, called the Mammogram Preprocessing Module, inputs and digitizes mammograms into 8-bit images of size 2048x2048, extracts the breast region from the background, enha...
متن کاملTomographic imaging of the angular-dependent coherent-scatter cross section.
A new special-purpose computed tomographic (CT) imaging system is described which produces images based on measurements of the low-angle (0-10 degrees) x-ray diffraction properties of an object. Low-angle scatter in the diagnostic x-ray energy range is dominated by coherent scatter, and the system uses first-generation CT geometry to acquire a diffraction pattern for each pencil beam. The patte...
