mammography practice and critical to perceive subtle changesmammography practice and critical to perceive subtle changes which may be associated with a cancer.
• Obtaining a 2D exam along with the 3D exam will allow direct comparison of current 2D images with prior 2D images
• Segmental and clustered calcifications are more easily and quickly appreciated with 2D because they can traverse multiplequickly appreciated with 2D because they can traverse multiple slices in 3D.
• By minimizing structure overlap, 3D optimally demonstrates masses and architectural distortion

• Rule of thumb is one projection per degreeRule of thumb is one projection per degree
• Reduces artifacts from calcification
P id b tt i li ti f i l ti d• Provides better visualization of spiculations and masses
• During projections, detector moves 5 degrees about CR
• Angulation corrected in reconstruction
• Using back projection reconstruction because it’s faster
• Most important are reconstruction filters
• Pixels binned to 140 microns/recon to 95
• Slice thickness of 1mm75
