Abstract

A system and method for displaying and navigating breast tissue is configured for or includes obtaining a plurality of 2D and / or 3D images of a patient's breast; generating a synthesized 2D image of the breast from the obtained images; displaying the synthesized 2D image; receiving a user command, or otherwise detecting through a user interface, a user selection or other indication of an object or region in the synthesized 2D image; and displaying at least a portion of one or more images from the plurality, including a source image and / or most similar representation of the user selected or indicated object or region.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 597,958, filed February 13, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The invention disclosed herein relates to chest imaging using tomography, and more particularly to systems and methods for guided navigation of tomographic data sets using composite images obtained by importing relevant data from tomographic data sets into composite images. 2D images, and then use the 2D images to navigate the tomographic data. Background technique [0004] Mammography has long been used to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities. Traditionally, mammograms have been formed on X-ray films. In recent years, flat panel digital imagers have been introduced, which acquire mammograms in digital form and thereby facilitate analysis and storage of the acquired images, and provide other benefits as well. Further...
