Abstract
A method for compressing digital breast tomosynthesis data, a system and a control unit for image reconstruction of three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis volumes (DBT). The volume to be reconstructed is analyzed in order to identify clusters of regions in the volume with a low and high degree of diagnostically relevant information. Depending on the affiliation or belonging to a certain cluster, a specific reconstruction algorithm and a specific slab thickness are determined in order to be used for reconstruction of the cluster. Thus, different clusters are reconstructed differently.
