Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU

چکیده
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 ultra-fast image reconstruction technique for Tomosynthesis Mammography systems using Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). At first, projections of Tomosynthesis mammography have been simulated. In order to produce Tomosynthesis projections, it has been designed a 3D breast phantom from empirical data. It is based on MRI data in its natural form. Then, projections have been created from 3D breast phantom. The image reconstruction algorithm based on FBP was programmed with C++ language in two methods using central processing unit (CPU) card and the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). It calculated the time of image reconstruction in two kinds of programming (using CPU and GPU).

متن کاملDissertation Defense Iterative Polyenergetic Digital Tomosynthesis Reconstructions for Breast Cancer Screening
In digital tomosynthesis imaging, multiple projections of an object are obtained along a small range of incident angles in order to reconstruct a pseudo 3D representation of the object. This technique is of relevant interest in breast cancer screening since it eliminates the problem of tissue superposition that reduces clinical performance in standard mammography. The challenge of this techniqu...
متن کاملUltra-fast digital tomosynthesis reconstruction using general-purpose GPU programming for image-guided radiation therapy.
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate an ultra-fast reconstruction technique for digital tomosynthesis (DTS) imaging based on the algorithm proposed by Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress (FDK) using standard general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) programming interface. To this end, the FDK-based DTS algorithm was programmed "in-house" with C language with utilization of 1) GPU and 2) cen...
متن کاملTotal Variation Regularization in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: Regularization Parameter Determination based on Small Structures Segmentation Rates
Regularization approaches for the limited-angle reconstruction problem in digital breast tomosynthesis are widelyused. Though, their benefits depend largely upon a suitable regularization parameter estimation. We aim to evaluate the reconstruction quality of precise small contrast features objectively with the help of an automated process. These features were represented by so-called Landolt ri...
متن کاملDetection of microcalcification clusters by 2D-mammography and narrow and wide angle digital breast tomosynthesis
The aim of this study was to compare the detection of microcalcification clusters by human observers in breast images using 2D-mammography and narrow (15°/15 projections) and wide (50°/25 projections) angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Simulated microcalcification clusters with a range of microcalcification diameters (125 μm-275 μm) were inserted into 6 cm thick simulated compressed brea...
