Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
collecting a first set of physical attributes for a breast of a first patient, wherein the first set of physical attributes are specific to the first patient and comprise at least one of breast size, breast thickness, breast shape, breast volume data, and breast surface points;
customizing image acquisition parameters personalized for the breast of the first patient based on the first set of physical attributes, wherein the image acquisition parameters include automatic exposure control function, a spatial thickness distribution of tissue, and a desired number range of image slices used for breast volume reconstruction, the number of slices being based on the breast thickness;
collecting a second set of physical attributes for the breast of the first patient, wherein the second set of physical attributes comprise at least one of breast elasticity, breast composition distributions, and breast density;
customizing compression parameters specific for the breast of the first patient based on the second set of physical attributes for the breast of the first patient;
compressing the breast of the first patient based on the compression parameters for the first patient;
imaging the compressed breast using the customized image acquisition parameters for the first patient; and
storing, in the memory, the first set of physical attributes for the breast of a first patient, the customized image acquisition parameters for the first patient, the second set of physical attributes for the breast of the first patient, and the first set of compression parameters for the first patient.
