Image Correction and Reconstruction for Breast Biopsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A methodology for enhancing image quality for a given biopsy sensor is presented. Due to the specific characteristics of the sensor the raw image quality is non optimal. We propose an approach for image enhancement based on flat field intensity normalisation and detection and correction of dead pixels effects. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation is provided using phantom images in order to show the validity of the method.

Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction in SPECT during Image Reconstruction using an Inverse Monte Carlo Method: A Simulation Study
Introduction: The main goal of SPECT imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. However, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. In this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. Monte Carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...
متن کاملA New Approach for Scatter Removal and Attenuation Compensation from SPECT/CT Images
Objective(s): In SPECT, the sinogram contains scatter and lack of attenuated counts that degrade the reconstructed image quality and quantity. Many techniques for attenuation and scatter correction have been proposed. An acceptable method of correction is to incorporate effects into an iterative statistical reconstruction. Here, we propose new Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximiz...
متن کاملNew approach for attenuation correction in SPECT images, using linear optimization
Background: Photon attenuation as an inevitable physical phenomenon influences on the diagnostic information of SPECT images and results to errors in accuracy of quantitative measurements. This can be corrected via different physical or mathematical approaches. As the correction equation in mathematical approaches is nonlinear, in this study a new method of linearization called ‘Piece ...
متن کاملApplication of Different methods for Reducing Radiation Dose to Breast during MDCT
The increased use of computed tomography (CT) and its high radiation dose have led to great concerns about its potential for radiation induced cancer risks. Breast is a radiosensitive tissue based on tissue weighting factors assigned by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Moreover, the dose is maximal on the surface of the patient. Therefore, strategies should be tak...
