Abstract:
A method of breast image reconstruction includes positioning a breast on an imaging system support plate, compressing the breast with a flexible paddle, obtaining imaging data, estimating a breast thickness profile by at least one of placing markers on the breast, performing an image-based analysis of the obtained data, using an auxiliary system, and performing a model-based computation. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction including using a thickness profile of the breast surface in at least one of an iterative reconstruction, a filtered back-projection reconstruction, and a joint reconstruction performed using information obtained from an ultrasound scan. A non-transitory medium having executable instructions to cause a processor to perform the method is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 18):
The medium of  claim 15 , having stored thereon instructions which when executed cause the processor to perform the step of 3D reconstruction by including an iterative calculation using the breast thickness profile to differentiate between voxels within the breast volume, and voxels external to the breast volume.
