Dedicated cone‐beam breast CT: Data acquisition strategies based on projection angle‐dependent normalized glandular dose coefficients

Abstract: Background: Dedicated cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) using short-scan acquisition is being actively investigated to potentially reduce the radiation dose to the breast.This would require determining the optimal x-ray source trajectory for such short-scan acquisition. Purpose: To quantify the projection angle-dependent normalized glandular dose coefficient (DgN CT ) in CBBCT, referred to as angular DgN CT , so that the x-ray ray source trajectory that minimizes the radiation dose to the breast for… Show more

“…In an effort to translate BCT to breast cancer screening, multiple research teams and industrial partners are working on various hardware approaches including the use of highresolution, low-noise, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detectors [25] either with full-scan [25,26] or short-scan acquisition [27,28], or photon-counting detectors with helical acquisition [29]. The primary objective of these research efforts is to reduce the radiation dose so that it is appropriate for screening exams while improving the visualization of microcalcifications.…”
