The present invention relates to a method of reconstruction of an object from projections, more particularly to a quantitative reconstruction of an object from projection views of the object. For example, quantitative reconstruction of an image of a human breast from projection views generated by digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), computed tomography (CT), or standard mammography, and use of the reconstruction to identify densest regions.

Method of reconstruction of an object from projection views

The present invention relates to an imaging technique and an imaging system and more particularly to an automatic assessment of quantitative measure(s)/properties(s) of an object wherein, for example, an imaging system is used to capture an image, following which image properties are quantified using image processing techniques. An imaging technique obtains an image of an object along a first axis, or by way of a first technique, and subsequently obtains an image of the object along a second axis, or by way of a second technique. One or more pixels from the first image are selected and designated as reference pixels. An automated comparison between corresponding regions of the first and second images are then performed which is based upon the reference pixels, so as to indicate regions of interest.

Imaging technique and imaging system

Disclosed is a method of analyzing tissue from an image comprising providing an electronic image of tissue (), determining a reference value from the image (), establishing an hrepresentation () of the image, and using the hrepresentation in analysis of the tissue to quantify the breast and compute a calibration error. Also disclosed is a system which runs an inner breast edge detection algorithm () on the electronic image to detect the inner breast edge on the image (), and refined the inner breast edge location () if a calibration error is not acceptable (). Also disclosed is automatic estimation of breast composition and temporal analysis of images.

Method and system for analysing tissue from images

A method and system are provided for facilitating decision making, such as in a clinical setting. In accordance with this technique, a set of encoded guidelines are executed to identify information that may be used to generate patient management options. The information is acquired, if available. Based on the encoded guidelines and the acquired information, a set of patient management options are generated and provided to one or more reviewers for review and selection of a patient management option.
