Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Radiography has been ? rmly established in diagnostic radiology during the last decade. Because of the special requirements of high contrast and spatial resolution needed for roentgen mammography, it took some more time to develop digital m- mography as a routine radiological tool. Recent technological progress in detector and screen design as well as increased ex- rience with computer applications for image processing have now enabled Digital Mammography to become a mature modality that opens new perspectives for the diag- sis of breast diseases. The editors of this timely new volume Prof. Dr. U. Bick and Dr. F. Diekmann, both well-known international leaders in breast imaging, have for many years been very active in the frontiers of theoretical and translational clinical research, needed to bring digital mammography ? nally into the sphere of daily clinical radiology. I am very much indebted to the editors as well as to the other internationally rec- nized experts in the ? eld for their outstanding state of the art contributions to this v- ume. It is indeed an excellent handbook that covers in depth all aspects of Digital Mammography and thus further enriches our book series Medical Radiology. The highly informative text as well as the numerous well-chosen superb illustrations will enable certi? ed radiologists as well as radiologists in training to deepen their knowledge in modern breast imaging.

Download or read book Digital Breast Tomosynthesis written by Alberto Tagliafico and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive description of the screening and clinical applications of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and offers straightforward, clear guidance on use of the technique. Informative clinical cases are presented to illustrate how to take advantage of DBT in clinical practice. The importance of DBT as a diagnostic tool for both screening and diagnosis is increasing rapidly. DBT improves upon mammography by depicting breast tissue on a video clip made of cross‐sectional images reconstructed in correspondence with their mammographic planes of acquisition. DBT results in markedly reduced summation of overlapping breast tissue and offers the potential to improve mammographic breast cancer surveillance and diagnosis. This book will be an excellent practical teaching guide for beginners and a useful reference for more experienced radiologists.

Download or read book Comparison of Object Detection and Image Quality Between Conventional Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Through Contrast Measurements and Phantom Image Evaluation written by Angela E. Leek and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancements in digital detector technology over the past decade have facilitated the transition of mammography image acquisition from film screen to full field digital applications. Nearly 90% of the mammography performed in the United States utilizes digital imaging technologies. The ability to capture the image information in an electronic format has allowed for three-dimensional image reconstruction techniques to be applied to digital mammography images by employing tomosynthesis acquisition techniques. The ability for digital breast tomosynthesis to represent the breast tissue in a three-dimensional format has significant applications in clinical mammography to overcome the inherent limitation of overlapping tissue in current 2D mammography applications. The quality control requirements for mammography systems are based from regulations initially implemented through the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992. These regulations have been modified as digital mammography has developed and currently require that imaging modalities other than film-screen adhere to the quality control program outlined by the manufacturer of the equipment. A test to measure the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and signal difference to noise ratio (SdNR) is routinely used in two-dimensional digital mammography quality control programs to assess the ability of the system to adequately represent objects within the breast tissue structures. The purpose of this study was to understand the differences in object detection between two-dimensional (2D) mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) applications. This study begins by examining potential variations in SNR and SdNR measurements of 2D image acquisitions over increasing simulated breast thicknesses. These measurements were then compared to SNR and SdNR measurements obtained for both projection images and reconstruction slices generated in the DBT modality using the same simulated breast thickness parameters as those acquired in the 2D modality. Human reviewer scores of contrast detail phantom images acquired under corresponding parameters were used to determine whether any measured differences in SNR and SdNR values correlated with changes in the ability of a human observer to visually perceive known phantom image objects. As the thickness of the attenuating material increased, differences were noted in the SNR and SdNR measurements as well as the reviewer scores when 2D and DBT results were compared. This study found that the measured SdNR decreased as the BR material thicknesses increased for both the 2D and DBT modalities; however, DBT demonstrated a greater change than was noted for 2D. Reviewer scores also indicated a difference in the ability to visualize the smallest phantom image objects between the two modalities. The scope of this study does not provide for a clear correlation between the decrease in SdNR and reduced reviewer visualization of test objects. However, the noted differences between 2D and DBT in SNR/SdNR and reviewer scores support the need for consideration of object detection parameters for each modality separately.
