Abstract
A method for image processing of mammography image data from a mammography system, comprises: acquiring mammography image data of a breast of a patient; and determining corrected mammography image data based on the mammography image data, wherein the corrected mammography image data is modified to at least partially compensate for the influence of the cutout on the representation of the breast in the mammography image data.
Claims20
A method for image processing of mammography image data from a mammography system having a compression plate containing a cutout, the method comprising:
- acquiring mammography image data of a breast of a patient;
- and
- determining corrected mammography image data based on the mammography image data, wherein image effects of the cutout are determined in the mammography image data, and the mammography image data is modified to at least partially compensate for the image effects.
An image data processing device, comprising:
- an input interface configured to receive acquired mammography image data of a breast of a patient;
- and
- a correction unit configured to determine corrected mammography image data based on the acquired mammography image data, wherein image effects of a cutout are determined in the acquired mammography image data, and the acquired mammography image data is modified to at least partially compensate for the image effects.
