Introduction. Breast cancer is a major health and economic problem in Serbia. On the one hand, most patients see doctor at an advanced stage of disease, on other screening response rate low. Early detection increases chances survival. Digital mammography gold standard breast imaging, together with supplemental ultrasound tomosynthesis. Mammography combined tomosynthesis has greater regardless d...

To improve cancer detection in mammography, breast examinations usually consist of two views per breast. In order to combine information from both views, corresponding regions in the views need to be matched. In 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), this may be a difficult and time-consuming task for radiologists, because many slices have to be inspected individually. For multiview computer-ai...

The objective of this study was to develop a new practical method to reconstruct a high-quality panoramic image in which radiographers would be free from the onerous task of correctly locating the patient's jaws within the image layer of the panoramic unit. In addition, dentists would be able to freely select any panoramic plane to be reconstructed after the acquisition of the raw scan data. A ...

PURPOSE Anatomical background presents a major impediment to detectability in 2D radiography as well as 3D tomosynthesis and cone-beam CT (CBCT). This article incorporates theoretical and experimental analysis of anatomical background "noise" in cascaded systems analysis of 2D and 3D imaging performance to yield "generalized" metrics of noise-equivalent quanta (NEQ) and detectability index as a...

The Radon transform constitutes the conventional tool for tomosynthesis, i.e., composition of cross-sections an object from its projections. It is actually a version Fourier Transform, which accompanied by appropriate digital high pass filters correct distribution energy among reconstructed frequency components. and inverse are employed in their 2D 3D versions, respectively, whole procedure ver...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate diagnostic imaging costs before and after DTS implementation in patients with suspected thoracic lesions on CXR. METHODS Four hundred sixty-five patients (263 male, 202 female; age, 72.47 ± 11.33 years) with suspected thoracic lesion(s) after CXR underwent DTS. Each patient underwent CT when a pulmonary non-calcified lesion was identified by DTS while CT was not perform...

The Tomosynthesis Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) Lead-In Study is a randomized screening trial that aims to compare the performance of standard two-dimensional full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and tomosynthesis at five sites in Canada, with multiple vendors’ platforms and a target enrollment of 6300 women. To characterize and monitor the image quality of the tomosynthesis syst...
