Background:

Multimodal breast imaging enhances diagnostic accuracy.
Novel techniques like microwave imaging require comparison with established methods.
Comparing 2D mammography and 3D modalities is challenging due to breast tissue deformability.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a registration technique for mapping 2D mammogram features to 3D image space.
To enable accurate comparison between 2D mammography and 3D breast imaging modalities.
To validate the technique using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as a reference.

Main Methods:

Developed a registration algorithm to map 2D mammogram features to 3D space.
Utilized MR breast imaging as the reference 3D modality.

Validated the algorithm using a numerical phantom and 24 clinical image pairs.

Main Results:

Achieved an excellent average Dice's coefficient of 0.94 for external goodness of fit.
Internal agreement was assessed by a radiologist, confirming reasonable alignment.
The registration technique successfully mapped features between 2D mammograms and 3D MR images.

Conclusions:

The developed registration technique effectively enables comparison between 2D mammograms and 3D breast MRI.
This advancement supports the integration and interpretation of multimodal breast imaging data.
The technique shows promise for improving diagnostic power in breast cancer detection.
