Method for acquisition and processing of medical image of breast to detect and characterize radiological signs during e.g. treatment of breast cancer, involves generating composite medical image from low and high energy images

摘要

The method involves illuminating (E1) a body i.e. breast, with low energy by an acquisition and radiation source of a low energy image by a detector. The body is illuminated (E2) with high-energy by acquisition and radiation source of high energy image. The body is positioned between the radiation source and the detector. A composite medical image is generated (E3) from the low and high energy images by a controller, so that tissues of the body in totality of the body are displayable in the composite medical image if the tissues are located or not in superposition with the implant. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for acquisition and processing of a medical image of a body including an implant (2) a computer program comprising machine instructions for implementing a method for acquisition and processing of a medical image of a body including an implant.
