There is an increasing interest in iterative reconstruction (IR) as a key tool to improve quality
and increase applicability of x-ray CT imaging. IR has the ability to significantly reduce …

X‐ray mammography of the compressed breast is well recognized as the “gold standard” for
early detection of breast cancer, but its performance is not ideal. One limitation of screening …

Background Accurate correction of x‐ray scatter in dedicated breast computed tomography
(bCT) imaging may result in improved visual interpretation and is crucial to achieve …

To compare the respective diagnostic efficiency for breast cancer in Chinese women with x-
ray mammography (XRM), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; standard …

Purpose The quality of dedicated cone‐beam breast CT (CBBCT) imaging is fundamentally
limited by x‐ray scatter contamination due to the large irradiation volume. In this paper, we …

The purpose of this paper is to develop a technique for the construction of a two-
compartment anthropomorphic breast phantom specific to an individual patient's pendant …

Purpose Dedicated cone beam breast CT (CBBCT) suffers from x‐ray scatter contamination.
We aim to identify the source of the significant difference between the scatter distributions …

Purpose Cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT), a promising breast cancer
diagnostic technique, has been under investigation for the past decade. However, owing to …

Simulations with a single scatter point per incident beamlet (SSP) model applied to
homogeneous phantoms could provide scatter signals that can be subtracted from cone …

A model based on singly scattered photons could potentially be of use to correct for scatter
effects in breast CBCT applications. Consider a simple phantom consisting of a 14 cm …
