Claim 1:
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising, before generating the first 2D synthesized image and generating the second 2D synthesized image:
generating, by the image processor, a first three-dimensional (3D) set of image slices based at least in part upon enhanced breast tissue images and suppressed high density element image portions, and generating a second 3D set of images slices based at least in part upon enhanced high density element image portions,
wherein the first 2D synthesized image is generated based at least in part upon the first 3D set of image slices, and the second 2D synthesized image is generated based at least in part upon the second 3D set of image slices.
