Scatter reduction for grid-less mammography using the convolution- based image post-processing technique

X-ray Mammography examinations are highly affected by scattered radiation, as it degrades the quality of the image and complicates the diagnosis process. Anti-scatter grids are currently used in planar mammography examinations as the standard physical scattering reduction technique. This method has been found to be inefficient, as it increases the dose delivered to the patient, does not remove ...

Technology Advances in Mammography Dose Reduction and Image Quality

Fujifilm’s third generation full field digital mammography (FFDM) system, ASPIRE Cristalle, is based on Fujifilm’s unique and innovative technologies that achieve optimum image quality at very low patient dose. These outcomes are made possible by a new detector technology that uses a hexagonal close pattern (HCP) architecture, coupled with analytical and adaptive image processing that automatic...

Breast dose in conventional and digital mamography

Introduction: The amount of doses received in mammography is one of the biggest concerns in the world. According to some statistics, every 12 minutes a woman dies due to breast cancer. Mammography concerned to detect breast cancer at an early stage of the disease as well as for screening, however due to the risk of exposure, the increasingly and widespread use of mammography fo...

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...
