Abstract
One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing an outline of a lesion in digital breast tomosynthesis includes receiving input data, wherein the input data comprises a reconstructed tomosynthesis volume dataset based on projection recordings, a virtual target marker within a lesion being in the tomosynthesis volume dataset; applying a trained function to at least a part of the tomosynthesis volume dataset to establish an outline enclosing the lesion, the part of the tomosynthesis volume dataset corresponding to a region surrounding the virtual target marker in the tomosynthesis volume dataset; and providing output data, wherein the output data is an outline of a two-dimensional area or a three-dimensional volume surrounding the target marker.
