Stationary Digital Breast Tomosynthesis System that Uses a Carbon Nanotube X-ray Source Array: a Feasibility Study

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Mammography has been a good method of performing early screening to detect breast cancer. An alternative technique, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), which is based on limited-angle tomography, solves the overlapping problem associated with mammography but also has limitations. To decrease the limitations of motion artifacts and poor reconstructed image quality that are imposed by the...
