    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and a cone beam computed tomography apparatus for reducing artefacts in an image acquired with the cone beam computed tomography apparatus using a second pass artefact reduction method. Projection data of an object are acquired, wherein the projection data comprises a first subset of data to be used for reconstruction of a first image, and a second subset of data comprising projection data not to be used for the construction of the first image, wherein the second subset of data comprises projection data not comprised in the first subset of data. A first and a second image are reconstructed using the first and the second subset of data, respectively. A second pass artefact reduction method is performed using the second image as input image of the second pass artefact reduction method, thereby reducing artefacts in the first image.

    摘要: Methods and systems for identifying a region of interest in breast tissue use artificial intelligence to confirm that a target lesion identified during initial imaging the breast tissue has been identified in a subsequent imaging session. A computing system operating a lesion matching engine uses a machine learning classifier algorithm trained on cases of initial and subsequent two-dimensional or three-dimensional images of lesions. The lesion matching engine analyzes a target lesion identified with initial and a potential lesion identified with current imaging to determine a likelihood that the target lesion is the same as the potential lesion. A confidence level indicator for the lesion match is presented on a display of a computing device to aid a healthcare provider in locating a lesion in breast tissue.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes at least one processor. The processor is configured to execute calcification image detection processing of detecting a calcification image based on a plurality of tomographic images obtained from a series of a plurality of projection images obtained by tomosynthesis imaging of a breast, region-of-interest image group generation processing of generating a region-of-interest image group by cutting out, as a region-of-interest image, a region including the calcification image detected by the calcification image detection processing from each of the plurality of projection images, variance value calculation processing of calculating a variance value of feature amounts of each of the region-of-interest images included in the region-of-interest image group, and shape type determination processing of determining a type of a shape of the calcification image based on the variance value calculated by the variance value calculation processing.
