Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a new technology for breast cancer screening that promises to supersede mammography to become the standard for breast imaging. DBT involves taking multiple images to synthesize a new image that represents a slice through the breast volume. The primary advantage of DBT is that it can reduce the amount of overlapping anatomy in the data, leading to improved visualization of potentially-cancerous findings. The difficulty in DBT is quantifying the advantages of the technology and determining the optimal conditions for its clinical use. This study describes a…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a new technology for breast cancer screening that promises to supersede mammography to become the standard for breast imaging. DBT involves taking multiple images to synthesize a new image that represents a slice through the breast volume. The primary advantage of DBT is that it can reduce the amount of overlapping anatomy in the data, leading to improved visualization of potentially-cancerous findings. The difficulty in DBT is quantifying the advantages of the technology and determining the optimal conditions for its clinical use. This study describes a virtual trial framework for assessing and optimizing DBT technology for the specific task of detecting small, low-contrast masses in the breast. It addresses each component of the imaging chain to some degree, from the patients/phantoms to the imaging hardware to the model observers used to measure signal detectability. The main focus, however, is on quantifying tradeoffs between three key parameters that affect image quality: (1) scan angle, (2) number of projections, and (3) exposure.
