Abstract
A method for generating a plurality of contrast-enhanced mammograms of an examination region is described. In the method a plurality of at least two different angular positions is defined for a contrast-enhanced tomosynthesis projection recording of an examination region. At least two low-energy tomosynthesis projection recordings of the examination region are subsequently generated, starting from the at least two different angular positions, in the presence of a contrast agent. Furthermore, at least two high-energy tomosynthesis projection recordings of the examination region are generated, starting from the at least two different angular positions, in the presence of a contrast agent. Finally, at least two contrast-enhanced mammograms are generated by subtracting a respective low-energy tomosynthesis projection recording from a respective high-energy tomosynthesis projection recording for a respective angular position. In addition, a mammography system is described.
