Abstract
A method for generating a synthetic two-dimensional mammogram with enhanced contrast for structures of interest includes acquiring a three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis volume having a plurality of voxels. A three-dimensional relevance map that encodes for the voxels the relevance of the underlying structure for a diagnosis is generated. A synthetic two-dimensional mammogram is calculated based on the three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis volume and the three-dimensional relevance map.
