Is tomosynthesis the same as 3D mammography? Yes, it is. 3D mammography is also known as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). While DBT produces its images in a way similar to computed tomography (CT) scanners, DBT uses far fewer x-ray beams than CT scanners do. Are 3D mammograms better ...
The purpose of this study is to develop a new method for generating synthesized mammogram (SM) from digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and to assess its potential as an adjunct to DBT. We first applied multiscale bilateral filtering to the reconstructed DBT slices to enhance the high-frequency ...
Preventative surgery (prophylactic mastectomy) may also prevent breast cancer. Bilateral prophylactic mastectomy is the removal of both breasts in order to prevent breast cancer. Women with a strong family history and BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations may choose to have bilateral prophylactic mastectomy in orde...
resolution classifier are proposed. These new architectures perform multi-scale classification by combining different patch sizes and input image resolutions. The AUC is increased by 3% on the public CBIS-DDSM dataset and by 5% on an internal dataset. Compared with a baseline single patch size and...
