Problems solved by technology
However, users do not have enough time or spend the time required to acquire images under optimal conditions, such as reconfiguring the mammogram in a geometric magnification mode
Therefore, producing poor quality images, and the only way to improve image clarity is a significant investment in a dedicated x-ray unit as described above

Embodiment Construction
[0064] Example embodiments described in the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and devices for generating high quality images of biopsy samples in mammography.
[0065] Figure 2A An example radiation imaging system or mammography system 200 is shown in accordance with one or more example embodiments of the present disclosure. System 200 may include a breast support table 212 for supporting a breast of patient 202 . Under normal operation, the physician or radiology technician 204 may use the breast support table 212 to position the patient's breast such that a full view of the breast is captured by a digital image receptor contained under the breast support table. The system 200 also generally includes a compression paddle 214 for compressing the patient's breast against the breast support table. Compression paddle 214 includes a substantially planar base and one or more walls adjoining the base for confining a portion of the breast to be tested. The compressio...

The invention relates to systems, methods and devices for imaging of biopsy samples on a mammography machine. A mammography apparatus including an x-ray source having an x-ray tube with one or more focal spots, a controller for controlling one or more parameters of the x-ray exposure, a digital image receptor configured to generate an x-ray image from objects positioned between the x-ray source and the digital image receptor, a specimen tray configured to receive samples from a biopsy, a positioning arm for positioning the specimen tray between the x-ray source and the digital image receptor, and a detector configured to detect the presence of the specimen tray when it is positioned. The controller is configured to adjust, select or configure one or more parameters of the x-ray exposure in reaction to the detection of the presence of the specimen tray in such a way that the one or more parameters are adapted to the specific needs of imaging biopsy specimens.
Description
technical field [0001] Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems, methods, and devices for radiologic imaging, and more specifically, to systems, methods, and devices for simplified high-quality imaging of biopsy samples on mammography. Background technique [0002] Stereotactic breast biopsy has become the method of choice for non-surgical diagnosis of many forms of breast cancer. Many breast cancers are detected by the presence of microcalcifications visible on screening mammograms. However, these microcalcifications did not correspond to overt abnormalities. Therefore, image-guided biopsy techniques must be used to determine the presence of early pre-spreading breast cancer. Currently, stereotaxic guided needle biopsy procedures represent the state of the art for the general situation described above. [0003] However, while being very safe and minimally invasive, stereotactic breast biopsy can be laborious, time consuming, and uncomfortable for the pati...
