    Abstract: A system has an imaging system housing and an x-ray source, thereto, a compression arm assembly housing, a support, and a detector. A paddle is disposed between the support and the x-ray source. A bottom surface of the paddle at least partially defines a plane. When in a rest position, the plane is substantially parallel to the support. A pivot mechanism connects the paddle to the compression arm assembly housing. The pivot mechanism defines an axis of rotation substantially parallel to a sagittal plane of the patient. The pivot mechanism has at least one biasing element for biasing the paddle into the rest position.

    Abstract: A breast imaging system leverages the combined strengths of two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging to provide a breast cancer screening with improved sensitivity, specificity and patient dosing. A tomosynthesis system supports the acquisition of three-dimensional images at a dosage lower than that used to acquire a two-dimensional image. The low-dose three-dimensional image may be used for mass detection, while the two-dimensional image may be used for calcification detection. Obtaining tomosynthesis data at low dose provides a number of advantages in addition to mass detection including the reduction in scan time and wear and tear on the x-ray tube. Such an arrangement provides a breast cancer screening system with high sensitivity and specificity and reduced patient dosing.

    Abstract translation: 乳房成像系统利用二维和三维成像的综合优势，提供具有改善的敏感性，特异性和患者给药的乳腺癌筛查。 断层合成系统支持以比用于获取二维图像的剂量低的剂量获取三维图像。 低剂量三维图像可以用于质量检测，而二维图像可以用于钙化检测。 以低剂量获得断层合成数据除了质量检测之外还提供了许多优点，包括扫描时间的减少以及X射线管上的磨损和撕裂。 这种布置提供了具有高灵敏度和特异性并减少患者给药的乳腺癌筛查系统。
