Radiologist Evaluation of DEI Breast Specimen Imaging

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine which physical operating characteristics for obtaining the DEI images to provide the optimum image for breast cancer imaging. This determination will be based on expert observer studies. The results will then be used as the design specifications for a compact source. We have decided to use breast imaging phantoms instead of breast tissue samples based on the preliminary study performed on the breast tissue samples. Two phantoms are being used. The images for the phantoms have been acquired and registered. Other image processes are in progress and reader study is being scheduled.
