Summary

A new algorithm detects breast masses directly from raw projection images in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), achieving 90% sensitivity with 1.5 false positives per volume. This approach bypasses reconstruction challenges for improved 3D breast imaging analysis.

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
