“…With the arrival of computed tomography (CT), the use of the technique rapidly declined. With the introduction of digital radiography at the beginning of the new millennium, there was renewed interest in tomography, now as digital linear tomography, however turning out to be most useful in chest (25,26) and breast (27) imaging.…”

During the last 100 years, musculoskeletal radiology has developed from bone-only radiography performed by everyone to a dedicated subspecialty, still secure in its origins in radiography but having expanded into all modalities of imaging. Like other subspecialties in radiology, it has become heavily dependent on cross-sectional and functional imaging, and musculoskeletal interventions play an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment and in joint diseases. All these developments are reflected in the pages in Acta Radiologica, as shown in this review.

“…Tomosynthesis has been evaluated by several investigators for its use in chest diagnosis. Early work in this area by Sone and colleagues provided a good indication of the potential for chest tomosynthesis (Sone et al 1991(Sone et al , 1993(Sone et al , 1996. Their work involved using an image intensifier and digital video imaging system coupled to a linear motion tomography apparatus.…”

Digital x-ray tomosynthesis: current state of the art and clinical potential

Digital x-ray tomosynthesis is a technique for producing slice images using conventional x-ray systems. It is a refinement of conventional geometric tomography, which has been known since the 1930s. In conventional geometric tomography, the x-ray tube and image receptor move in synchrony on opposite sides of the patient to produce a plane of structures in sharp focus at the plane containing the fulcrum of the motion; all other structures above and below the fulcrum plane are blurred and thus less visible in the resulting image. Tomosynthesis improves upon conventional geometric tomography in that it allows an arbitrary number of in-focus planes to be generated retrospectively from a sequence of projection radiographs that are acquired during a single motion of the x-ray tube. By shifting and adding these projection radiographs, specific planes may be reconstructed. This topical review describes the various reconstruction algorithms used to produce tomosynthesis images, as well as approaches used to minimize the residual blur from out-of-plane structures. Historical background and mathematical details are given for the various approaches described. Approaches for optimizing the tomosynthesis image are given. Applications of tomosynthesis to various clinical tasks, including angiography, chest imaging, mammography, dental imaging and orthopaedic imaging, are also described.

“…Furthermore, RSGAN [12] improves the performance by using a disentanglement network. For rib suppression in DCT at the device level, dual-energy chest tomosynthesis (DE-DCT) [24] can provide ribfree DCT by irradiating the tissues with two different energy levels of radiation, but exposes the patient to extra radiation doses. Therefore, rib suppression for DCT at the software level remains an important and unsolved problem.…”

Digital chest tomosynthesis (DCT) is a technique to produce sectional 3D images of a human chest for pulmonary disease screening, with 2D X-ray projections taken within an extremely limited range of angles. However, under the limited angle scenario, DCT contains strong artifacts caused by the presence of ribs, jamming the imaging quality of the lung area. Recently, great progress has been achieved for rib suppression in a single X-ray image, to reveal a clearer lung texture. We firstly extend the rib suppression problem to the 3D case at the software level. We propose a Tomosynthesis RIb SuPpression and Lung Enhancement Network (TRIPLE-Net) to model the 3D rib component and provide a rib-free DCT. TRIPLE-Net takes the advantages from both 2D and 3D domains, which model the ribs in DCT with the exact FBP procedure and 3D depth information, respectively. The experiments on simulated datasets and clinical data have shown the effectiveness of TRIPLE-Net to preserve lung details as well as improve the imaging quality of pulmonary diseases. Finally, an expert user study confirms our findings.
