    摘要: According to one aspect of an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, an imaging device or system (10), e.g., a mammography imaging system or device (12), includes a breast holding pad (200) disposed on one or both of a compression paddle (28) and a compression surface (50) on the imaging device (10). The breast holding pad (200) is formed with a central layer (202), a first, securing adhesive layer (204) on one side (205)of the central layer (202) and a second, biocompatible adhesive layer (206) disposed on the opposite side (207) of the central layer (202). The biocompatible adhesive (204,206) operates to securely hold the breast (52) during any imaging and/or biopsy procedure performed utilizing the imaging system (10). Further, with the use of one or both pads (200), the amount of compression force required to hold the breast (52) in a stationary position between the compression paddle (28) and the compression surface (50) can be reduced, thereby decreasing the discomfort to the patient during the imaging and/or biopsy procedure performed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus for characterization of a feature in a body part. It is describe to provide (210) tomosynthesis medical data comprising a plurality of images of the body part, wherein the plurality of images comprise image data associated with a plurality of rays of radiation that have passed through the body part, wherein the image data comprises spectral data associated with at least two photon energy levels of the plurality of rays of radiation, wherein the medical data comprises data of the feature. A delineated boundary of the feature is determined (220). At least one material composition of the body part inside the delineated boundary is determined (240) comprising a function of the spectral data inside the delineated boundary. The feature is characterised (250) as a function of the at least one material composition inside the delineated boundary of the feature. Data representative of the feature is output (260).
