A virtual imaging study of microcalcification detection performance in digital breast tomosynthesis: Patients versus 3D textured phantoms
Detection levels were equivalent between the physical and digital versions of the L1 phantom. Detection in L1 and patient backgrounds was not equivalent, however, differences in detection performance were small, confirming the potential value of this phantom. The digital SSBT phantom was found to be equivalent to patient backgrounds for DBT studies of microcalcification cluster detection performance, for the DBT system and reconstruction algorithm used in this study.
