ABSTRACT

The renewed interest in, and rapid clinical translation of, digital tomosynthesis (DT) in recent years was enabled by the development and commercialization of flat-panel imagers (FPI). These detectors have a compact form factor, excellent image quality, and high image readout rate (frame rate). Naturally, all detectors for tomosynthesis have their root in digital radiography (DR) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM).
