Improving Reading Time of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis with Concurrent Computer Aided Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
PowerLook® Tomo Detection, a concurrent computer-aided detection (CAD) system for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) developed by iCAD, Inc., Nashua, NH, was tested to determine if the software can shorten the reading time of DBT without affecting radiologist interpretation or performance. The results of this study showed a 29.2% average reduction in reading time (up to 36.5% reduction) with the use of PowerLook Tomo Detection while maintaining radiologists’ performance and accuracy.

Workflow improvements for digital breast tomosynthesis: computerized generation of enhanced synthetic images
In a typical 2D mammography workflow scenario, a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm is used as a second reader producing marks for a radiologist to review. In the case of 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), the display of CAD detections at multiple reconstruction heights would lead to an increased image browsing and interpretation time. We propose an alternative approach in which an al...
متن کاملComputer-aided detection system for breast masses on digital tomosynthesis mammograms: preliminary experience.
The purpose of the study was to design a computer-aided detection (CAD) system for breast mass detection on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) mammograms and to perform a preliminary evaluation of the performance of this system. Twenty-six patients were imaged with a prototype DBT system. Institutional review board approval and written informed patient consent were obtained. Use of the data set...
متن کاملUltra-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...
متن کاملSpiculated Lesions and Architectural Distortions Detection in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Datasets
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a new 3D imaging technique aiming at overcoming some limitations of mammography. A computer aided detection system may help the radiologist to process the increased amount of data of this new modality. In this paper we propose to address the detection of masses and architectural distortions in DBT datasets. To achieve this task, we propose a detection schem...
