Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for enhancing the generation of a synthetic 2D image from tomosynthesis projection images, such as a synthetic 2D image. To enhance the image, the image processing system utilizes a selected height interval to scan for objects of interest within a volume reconstructed from the tomosynthesis projection images. The height interval is larger than normal slices formed from the reconstructed volume, such that pixel information on larger masses can be obtained from adjacent slices within the volume. Further, the illustration of the object of interest in the synthetic 2D image can be modified by contributing pixel information from all tomosynthesis projections for the presentation of the object or interest. The use of pixel information from all tomosynthesis projections enhances the illustration of the high frequency components and the low frequency components of the object of interest within the enhanced image.
