  • Method for obtaining a tomosynthesis image
    Patent number: 7697661
    Abstract: In a method for the obtaining a tomosynthesis image for a more selective detection of radiology signs, a dose distribution strategy is proposed. The strategy is defined as a function of a substantially uniform depth-of-focus for a variety of sizes and classes of radiology signs. This strategy is coupled with a digital filtering aimed at ensuring optimum propagation of the signal-to-noise ratio beyond the frequency spectrum. This digital filtering is done by means of a class of adaptive filters required to control the propagation of the noise during the reconstruction. The filter to be applied to each projection of the X-ray tube (4) depends on the dose assigned to this projection.
