Dose assessment and reconstruction algorithm optimization in simultaneous breast and lung CT imaging.

摘要

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, and therefore, there is an undeniable need to ensure early screening and detection systems worldwide. The aim of this project was to study the feasibility of a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner for simultaneous breast and lung lesion imaging. Additionally, the development of reconstruction algorithms and the study of their impact to the image quality was considered.
