Abstract: An imaging system utilizes 2D DXA images obtained in a tomographic imaging process or mode in order to provide more detailed information to the operator of the bone structure of the patient. The imaging system obtains multiple 2D DXA images at different angles with regard to the patient in a number of passes across the body of the patient. These 2D DXA images can then be utilized to reconstruct at least one 2D slice of the body of the patient, such as in a plane parallel to the plane of a patient support surface, such as a scanner table. The information provided by the tomographic reconstruction provides enhancements to the process of modifying a 3D FEA model associated to an already available set of tomographic reconstructed slices selected from the comparison with the current tomographic reconstructed slices. In this manner, the system and method provide a significant reduction in the error of the resulting modified 3D FEA model for review and analysis compared to a 2D approach.

Abstract: A mammography or tomosynthesis apparatus, comprising a mechanism configured to move a paddle, relative to a detector platform fixed to a main body of the apparatus, to compress a patient's breast against the detector platform to form a surface. The mechanism comprises a post that is mobile relative to the detector platform and/or to the body and configured so that maximum extension of the post relative to the surface follows the movements of the paddle relative to the detector platform.

Abstract: A method for processing radiological images of a region of interest in a patient, the method comprising obtaining a set of images of the region of interest comprising at least two images, acquired using a medical imaging system, each image of the set of images being acquired at one X-ray energy, determining at least one recombined image by recombining a plurality of images forming a sub-set of images of the set of images for each recombination, segmenting at least one image from among the set of images, to detect and isolate at least one zone of the region of interest, and merging with the at least one recombined image whereby the at least one zone of the region of interest derived from segmentation is merged so as to visualize the at least one zone in the recombined image.
