An innovative, three-dimensional x-ray imaging technique that
enhances projection radiography by adding depth resolution,
Tomosynthesis Imaging explores tomosynthesis, an emerging
limited-angle tomographic imaging technology that is being
considered for use in a range of clinical applications, and is
currently being used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
While conventional mammography has been very successful in reducing
breast cancer mortality, it is not perfect. A major limitation of
mammography is that the recorded image represents the superposition
of complex three-dimensional structures in the breast onto a
two-dimensional plane, making detection and diagnosis of breast
cancer challenging. Tomosynthesis produces quasi-three-dimensional
images that can significantly enhance the visualization of
important diagnostic features. This book highlights the flexibility
of tomosynthesis systems for new clinical applications, and
provides a detailed discussion of the tomosynthesis acquisition
process and the impact of physical factors. It explores such topics
as acquisition parameters, system components, modeling, image
reconstruction algorithms, and system evaluation. Provides in-depth
coverage of system design considerations, as well as image
reconstruction strategies Describes the current state of clinical
applications of tomosynthesis, including imaging of the breast and
chest, as well as its use in radiotherapy Illustrates the merits of
tomosynthesis imaging and its potential clinical applications in
imaging of the breast and chest, as well as for radiation therapy
Divided into five sections, this text delves into the history and
development of tomosynthesis. It introduces tomosynthesis imaging,
discusses imaging system design considerations, and reviews image
reconstruction algorithms that have been developed for
tomosynthesis. It also describes system evaluation methodologies,
emphasizes current clinical applications, and examines the future
direction for tomosynthesis.
