• W2022754861 abstract "In digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), a volumetric reconstruction of the breast is generated from a limited range of x-ray projections. One trade-off of DBT is resolution loss in the projections due to non-normal (i.e., oblique) x-ray incidence. Although degradation in image quality due to oblique incidence has been studied using empirical data and Monte Carlo simulations, a theoretical treatment has been lacking. The purpose of this work is to extend Swank's calculations of the transfer functions of turbid granular phosphors to oblique incidence. The model is ultimately used as a tool for optimizing the design of DBT detectors.A quantum-limited system and 20 keV x-rays are considered. Under these assumptions, the modulation transfer function (MTF) and noise power spectra (NPS) are derived using the diffusion approximation to the Boltzmann equation to model optical scatter within the phosphor. This approach is applicable to a nonstructured scintillator such as gadolinium oxysulfide doped with terbium (Gd(2)O(2)S:Tb), which is commonly used in breast imaging and which can reasonably approximate other detector materials. The detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is then determined from the Nishikawa formulation, where it is written as the product of the x-ray quantum detection efficiency, the Swank factor, and the Lubberts fraction. Transfer functions are calculated for both front- and back-screen configurations, which differ by positioning the photocathode at the exit or entrance point of the x-ray beam, respectively.In the front-screen configuration, MTF and DQE are found to have considerable angular dependence, while NPS is shown to vary minimally with projection angle. As expected, the high frequency MTF and DQE are degraded substantially at large angles. By contrast, all transfer functions for the back-screen configuration have the advantage of significantly less angular dependence. Using these models, we investigated the possibility for optimizing the design of DBT detectors. As an example optimization strategy, the phosphor thickness which maximizes the DQE at a fixed frequency is analyzed. This work demonstrates that the optimal phosphor thickness for the front-screen is angularly dependent, shifting to lower thickness at higher angles. Conversely, the back-screen is not optimized by a single thickness but instead attains reasonably high DQE values over a large range of thicknesses. Although the back-screen configuration is not suited for current detectors using a glass substrate, it may prove to be preferred in future detectors using newly proposed plastic thin-film transistor (TFT) substrates.Using the diffusion approximation to the Boltzmann equation to model the spread of light in a scintillator, this paper develops an analytical model of MTF, NPS, and DQE for a phosphor irradiated obliquely. The model is set apart from other studies on oblique incidence in being derived from first principles. This work has applications in the optimization of DBT detector design." @default.
