Abstract: A multi-mode system and method for imaging a patient's breast with x-rays in one or more of a CT mode, a narrow-angle tomosynthesis mode, a wide angle tomosynthesis mode, and a mammography mode, using essentially the same equipment, on one or more compressions or immobilizations of the breast.

Abstract: A method and system for producing tomosynthetic images of a patient's breast. An x-ray source that delivers x-rays through a breast immobilized and compressed between a compression paddle and a breast platform and form an image at a digital x-ray receptor panel. Multiple x-ray images are taken as the x-ray source and the receptor move relative to the immobilized breast. In one preferred embodiment, the x-ray source travels from −15° to +15°. The source can travel in an arc around the breast while the receptor travels linearly while remaining parallel and at the same distance from the breast platform. The sets of x-ray image data taken at different angles are combined to form tomosynthetic images that can be viewed in different formats, alone or as an adjunct to conventional mammograms.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for using machine learning (ML) to predict optimal exposure technique for acquiring mammographic images. In aspects, training data may be collected from one or more data sources. The training data may comprise sample data of patient attribute data and sample image attribute data, image metadata, image pixel data, and/or exposure technique parameters. The training data may be used to train an ML model to determine the optimal exposure technique parameters for acquiring mammographic images of a patient. After the ML model has been trained, patient data that is collected from a patient during a patient visit may be provided as input to the ML model. The ML model may output optimal exposure technique parameters for the patient in real-time. The real-time output of the ML model may be used to generate one or more mammographic images of the patient.
