- W2048595400 abstract "Mammographic screening is acknowledged as the best method for the reduction of breast cancer mortality. However, breasts containing a significant fraction of dense, fibroglandular tissue produce a range of exposure which exceeds the dynamic range of conventional mammography. Equalization radiography involves the modulation of the incident x-ray exposure distribution to compensate for variations in x-ray transmission within the patient, ensuring optimal contrast throughout the image. It has been shown that equalization radiograpy offers the potential for dose-efficient, improved lesion detection in the dense breast. However, current equalization geometries are not practical due to tube loading and scan duration inefficiencies. I propose a scan–rotate geometry for equalization radiography [rotary scanning equalization radiography (RSER)] in which the image receptor is exposed by repeated scans of a modulated fan beam, oriented at a variety of angles with respect to the patient. The superposition of exposure from appropriately modulated, rotated fan beams will produce an entrance exposure distribution that will efficiently equalize the film exposure. In this thesis, it is shown that less than half of the area of a dense breast is imaged conventionally with high contrast. The RSER geometry is described and its imaging characteristics are shown theoretically to be similar to current equalization geometries. Furthermore, RSER is resistant to exposure artifacts in typical mammographic imaging tasks. Numerical simulations which compared the imaging performance of RSER, current equalization geometries and conventional mammography show that RSER produces images with the same degree of equalization as current equalization geometries, with minimal tube loading, and only four scanning angles. Finally, an experimental prototype RSER system is described and characterized. Experimental images confirm the theoretical and numerical predictions. High contrast, artifact-free images of anthropomorphic breast phantoms can be obtained with minimal scan times and tube loading. The prototype system increases the fraction of the breast imaged with high contrast from 46% to 80%. These results indicate that RSER is an efficient, simple, and practical means of overcoming the latitude limitations of film screen mammography, and improving the detection of breast cancer." @default.
