چکیده

Digital breast tomosynthesis is rapidly being implemented in breast imaging clinics across the world as early clinical data demonstrate that this innovative technology may address some of the long-standing limitations of conventional mammography. This article reviews the recent clinical data supporting digital breast tomosynthesis implementation, the basics of digital breast tomosynthesis image interpretation using case-based illustrations, and potential issues to consider as this new technology is integrated into daily clinical use.

Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

A Review of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

While the principle of tomosynthesis has been known for almost a century, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a novel technology that owes its rapid development to the introduction of full-field digital mammography (FFDM). This review article covers the principles and design considerations of DBT, including system geometry. Further, the article provides an in-depth introduction to DBT dosimet...

Virtual Clinical Trials of Breast Tomosynthesis

Validation of novel x-ray breast image acquisition or analysis systems, based upon the clinical trials, is limited in terms of their cost, duration, and repeated exposure. These limitations have been emphasized by the emergence of digital breast tomosynthesis and breast computed tomography due to their large number of system settings to be tested. Virtual clinical trials have been introduced as...

Title: Simulation of 3D DLA masses in digital breast tomosynthesis

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is suggested to have superior performance compared to 2D mammography in terms of cancer visibility, especially in the case of dense breasts. However, the overall performance of tomosynthesis for screening applications, and the manner in which tomosynthesis should be optimally used for screening remains unclear. This motivates the development of software tools ...

Digital mammography and tomosynthesis for breast cancer diagnosis.

INTRODUCTION Mammography is one of the most common X-ray examinations although it is well-known that the anatomical background of the breast is the main obstacle when it comes to detection of breast lesions with this method. Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional radiographic technique which, to a large extent, can suppress the confounding effect of the anatomical background. Tomosynthesis is a s...
