The relatively recent reintroduction of deep learning has been a revolutionary force in the
interpretation of diagnostic imaging studies. However, the technology used to acquire those …

This topical review on digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is provided with the intent of
describing the state of the art in terms of technology, results from recent clinical studies …

Digital x-ray tomosynthesis is a technique for producing slice images using conventional x-
ray systems. It is a refinement of conventional geometric tomography, which has been …

The roles of physicists in medical imaging have expanded over the years, from the study of
imaging systems (sources and detectors) and dose to the assessment of image quality and …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare in a retrospective observer study the
diagnostic performance of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with that of digital breast …

Many important post‐acquisition aspects of breast tomosynthesis imaging can impact its
clinical performance. Chief among them is the reconstruction algorithm that generates the …

The Achilles heel of screening mammography is the detection of cancer in women with
radiographic dense breasts. Although nearly all cancers will be apparent in fatty breasts …

Three algorithms for breast tomosynthesis reconstruction were compared in this paper,
including (1) a back‐projection (BP) algorithm (equivalent to the shift‐and‐add algorithm),(2) …

Digital tomosynthesis mammography (DTM) is a promising new modality for breast cancer
detection. In DTM, projection‐view images are acquired at a limited number of angles over a …

Digital tomosynthesis is a radiographic technique that can produce an arbitrary number of
section images of a patient from a single pass of the X-ray tube. It utilizes a conventional X …
