Objective. A dedicated cone-beam breast computed tomography (BCT) using a high- resolution, low-noise detector operating in offset-detector geometry has been developed …
Purpose Scatter contamination in the cone‐beam CT (CBCT) leads to CT number inaccuracy, spatial nonuniformity, and loss of image contrast. In our previous work, we …
Compressed sensing based iterative reconstruction algorithms for computed tomography such as adaptive steepest descent-projection on convex sets (ASD-POCS) are attractive due …

BACKGROUND: High-resolution, low-noise detectors with minimal dead-space at chest-wall could improve posterior coverage and microcalcification visibility in the dedicated cone …
Purpose A clinical‐prototype, dedicated, cone‐beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) system with offset detector is undergoing clinical evaluation at our institution. This study is to …
The purpose of this study is to quantify the impact of sparse-view acquisition in short-scan trajectories, compared to 360-degrees full-scan acquisition, on image quality measures in …
