Abstract:
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis allows for the acquisition of volumetric mammography images. The present invention allows for novel ways of viewing such images to detect microcalcifications and obstructions. In an embodiment a method for displaying volumetric images comprises computing a projection image using a viewing direction, displaying the projection image and then varying the projection image by varying the viewing direction. The viewing direction can be varied based on a periodic continuous mathematical function. A graphics processing unit can be used to compute the projection image and bricking can be used to accelerate the computation of the projection images.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 8 , further comprising storing the viewing instructions in the second memory as an executable file to display the first generated 2-D projection image, the second generated 2-D projection image and the third generated 2-D projection image as a video.
