  • Method and system for computing digital tomosynthesis images
    Patent number: 10140715
    Abstract: A method of performing digital tomosynthesis includes the steps of obtaining an initial volume (I) formed with a plurality of slices (100); performing edge detection in a slice (100); processing the detected edges (11E) to obtain a weighting volume (Wxyz); and generating a composite slab (Scomp, Smeta) on the basis of the weighting volume (Wxyz).
