Title:
METHOD FOR ACQUIRING MORPHOLOGICAL INFORMATION OF BREAST
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012166026
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To minimize acquisition time, to obtain the complete modeling of an imaging object organ, and furthermore, to reduce noises of the image and the reconstructed volume in a contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CE-DBT).

An image is acquired according to various orientations of a radiation source. The acquisition corresponding to at least different first and second orientation mass of the emission radiation source is adapted. In the case of the orientations belonging to the first orientation mass but not to the second orientation mass, only one image each for the respective orientations is acquired, whereas in the case of orientations of the second orientation mass, at least two images each for the respective orientations are acquired for separate acquisition parameters.
