The effect of angular extent on reconstructed image quality in tomosynthesis A tissue sample example
Tissue Imaging Example • Lumpectomy, embedded in agar • 47F, node negative • 3.5 cm dia.; IDC, grade III 67 mm Whole Mount Histology Slide
Lumpectomy Constant Exposure/Projection CT (P=93, 186°)300μm× 300 μm × 600 μm voxelsRelative Dose: 10 Tomosynthesis (P=11, 22°)300μm× 300 μm × 600 μm voxelsRelative Dose: 1
Tissue Imaging Angular Spacing, Δθ=2°
More artifacts, Background tissue partly suppressed Less clutter in background, better contrast
