Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Computer-Aided Detection

Background:

  • Mammography uses two views per breast for cancer detection.
  • Matching corresponding regions in 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is challenging for radiologists.
  • Automated region matching is crucial for multiview computer-aided detection (CAD) systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automatic method for estimating corresponding locations in ipsilateral DBT views.
  • To automate the challenging task of matching regions for multiview CAD systems.
  • To provide a tool for radiologists to interactively find corresponding locations.

Main Methods:

  • Applied a spatial transformation using an elastically deformable sphere model.
  • Matched a compressed breast model to the tomosynthesis view.
  • Estimated corresponding locations by simulating decompression, rotation, and recompression.
  • Investigated three model-matching methods using automatic segmentation (pectoral muscle, breast tissue, nipple).
  • Validated the method on 208 landmarks from 146 breasts.

Main Results:

  • The best results were achieved using the breast's center of gravity to define the rotation axis.
  • Median 3D distance between actual and estimated locations was 14.6 mm.
  • Approximately 50% of estimated locations were within one slice of the actual location.
  • The method provides a good starting point for registration or local search methods in multiview CAD.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automatic method efficiently estimates corresponding locations in DBT views.
  • The technique offers a valuable tool for radiologists in mammographic workstations.
  • This automation improves the potential for linking suspicious regions in multiview CAD systems.
