文摘

We present the outcomes of combined feasibility studies carried out at Elettra and Australian Synchrotron to evaluate novel protocols for three-dimensional (3D) mammographic phase contrast imaging. A custom designed plastic phantom and some tissue samples have been studied at diverse resolution scales and experimental conditions. Several computed tomography (CT) reconstruction algorithms with different pre-processing and post-processing steps have been considered. Special attention was paid to the effect of phase retrieval on the diagnostic value of the reconstructed images. The images were quantitatively evaluated using objective quality indices in comparison with subjective assessments performed by three experienced radiologists and one pathologist.
