Abstract: A method and system for obtaining images of an object of interest using a system comprising an X-ray source facing a detector. The method and system enable the acquiring of a plurality of 2D projection images of the object of interest in a plurality of orientations. A selected 2D projection image such as the zero projection of the plurality of projections can be enhanced by using at least a subset of the plurality of tomosynthesis projection images. The obtained enhanced 2D projection image is displayed for review.

Abstract: Systems and methods of imaging an organ of a patient include obtaining a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) tomosynthesis projection images of the organ. An x-ray image of the organ is obtained. A three-dimensional (3D) volume of the organ is reconstructed from the plurality of projection images and the x-ray image. A synthetic 2D image of the organ is generated from the plurality of projection images and the x-ray image. The x-ray image is mapped to the 3D volume. A user selection of an object of interest in the x-ray image or the synthetic 2D image is received. A plane through the 3D volume that crosses the selected object of interest is identified and displayed.

Abstract: Method and system for obtaining tomosynthesis and material decomposition images of an object of interest using a system comprising an x-ray source facing a detector. The method comprises generating a 2D material decomposition image of an object of interest from at least two sets of acquisitions. Each set is performed at a different energy spectrum and comprises at least one projection image or a plurality of projection images acquired at different x-ray source angulation positions, and the 2D material decomposition image can be generated for a predetermined orientation selected from one of said different x-ray source angulation positions or from a virtual orientation. At least one of the plurality of 3D volume portion images and/or the 2D contrast enhanced material decomposition image are displayed for review by a health care professional.

Abstract: Abstract systems and methods of biopsy control include reconstructing a 3D volume from a plurality of tomosynthesis projection images and producing a plurality of synthetic stereo images from the plurality of tomosynthesis projection images. At least the synthetic stereo images are presented on a graphical display to a clinician to facilitate at least one input of a biopsy location for biopsy control.
