Radiological imaging method for mammogram application, involves reconstructing three-dimensional image of interest volume from acquired sequence of images and total representation of organ

摘要

The method involves identifying an interest volume (40) e.g. sphere or ellipsoid incorporating interest zone selected by surgeon, in a total representation of an organ of patient. A sequence of images of the interest volume is acquired (70) by narrowing the beam emitted by a source of an imaging apparatus to the identified interest volume. A three-dimensional image of the interest volume is reconstructed (80) from the acquired sequence of images and from the total representation. The view of the three-dimensional image is displayed (90) on a screen of an interface unit of the apparatus. An independent claim is also included for an imaging apparatus comprising a source and a detector.
