While conventional mammography has been very successful in reducing breast cancer mortality, it is not perfect. A major limitation of mammography is that the recorded image represents the superposition of complex three-dimensional structures in the breast onto a two-dimensional plane, making detection and diagnosis of breast cancer challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTomosynthesis produces quasi-three-dimensional images that can significantly enhance the visualization of important diagnostic features. This book highlights the flexibility of tomosynthesis systems for new clinical applications, and provides a detailed discussion of the tomosynthesis acquisition process and the impact of physical factors. It explores such topics as acquisition parameters, system components, modeling, image reconstruction algorithms, and system evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides in-depth coverage of system design considerations, as well as image reconstruction strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the current state of clinical applications of tomosynthesis, including imaging of the breast and chest, as well as its use in radiotherapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrates the merits of tomosynthesis imaging and its potential clinical applications in imaging of the breast and chest, as well as for radiation therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into five sections, this text delves into the history and development of tomosynthesis.
