2022 article

Patient-specific scatter-corrected digital chest tomosynthesis in human subjects

MEDICAL IMAGING 2022: PHYSICS OF MEDICAL IMAGING, Vol. 12031.

By: C. Inscoe *, A. Billingsley*, C. Puett*, O. Zhou *, J. Lu * & Y. Lee *

author keywords: Scatter; tomosynthesis; x-ray; imaging; carbon nanotube
TL;DR: The PSSC technique was found to enhance visualization and improve overall reconstruction image quality and exhibit greater uniformity in histogram distribution, allowing visualization of a larger range of anatomy at any window and level than their corresponding uncorrected counterparts.

Evaluation of patient-specific scatter-corrected digital chest tomosynthesis

MEDICAL IMAGING 2020: PHYSICS OF MEDICAL IMAGING, Vol. 11312.

By: C. Inscoe *, C. Puett*, A. Billingsley*, O. Zhou *, J. Lu * & Y. Lee *

author keywords: XIM (X-ray imaging); TSY (Tomosynthesis, DIAG (Diagnostic imaging)
TL;DR: Though used for tomosynthesis, the technique can be easily translated to digital radiography in lieu of an anti-scattering grid and exhibit increased visual conspicuity of anatomical features, with the primary drawback of increased total scan time. (via Semantic Scholar)

Point-of-Care Tomosynthesis Imaging of the Wrist

MILITARY MEDICINE, 186, 745–750.

By: C. Inscoe *, Y. Lee *, A. Billingsley n, C. Puett n, D. Nissman *, J. Lu *, O. Zhou *

MeSH headings : Humans; Imaging, Three-Dimensional; Point-of-Care Systems; Radiographic Image Enhancement; Tomography, X-Ray Computed; Wrist
TL;DR: The TomoE image quality was found to provide more diagnostic information than DR, with reconstruction slices exhibiting delineation of joint space, visual conspicuity of trabecular bone, bone erosions, fractures, and clear depiction of normal anatomical features. (via Semantic Scholar)

2021 article

Preliminary imaging evaluation of a compact tomosynthesis system for potential point-of-care extremity imaging

MEDICAL IMAGING 2020: PHYSICS OF MEDICAL IMAGING, Vol. 11312.

By: C. Inscoe *, A. Billingsley*, C. Puett*, D. Nissman *, J. Lu *, Y. Lee *, O. Zhou *

author keywords: X-ray imaging; Tomosynthesis; Diagnostic imaging; Orthopedic; Extremity; Carbon Nanotube; Point-of-care; Wrist; Fracture
TL;DR: TomoE image quality was found to be superior to DR, with reconstruction slices exhibiting visual conspicuity of trabecular bone, delineation of joint space, bone erosions, fractures, and clear depiction of normal anatomical features. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 article

Tomosynthesis imaging of the wrist using a CNT x-ray source array

MEDICAL IMAGING 2019: PHYSICS OF MEDICAL IMAGING, Vol. 10948.

By: C. Inscoe *, A. Billingsley*, C. Puett*, S. Feinstein*, E. Gunnell*, D. Nissman *, T. Maetani *, R. Draeger * ...

author keywords: X-ray Imaging; Tomosynthesis; Diagnostic; Orthopedic; Extremity; Carbon Nanotube; Point-of-Care; Wrist
TL;DR: This preliminary study demonstrated that the CNT x-ray source array has the potential to enable tomosynthesis imaging of extremities at the point-of-care and further studies are necessary to optimize the system and x-Ray source array configurations in order to construct a dedicated device for diagnostic and interventional applications.
