Imaging with curved compression elements

摘要: A curved compression element, such as a breast paddle, and imaging systems methods for use with elements. system may include radiation source, detector, element. Operations are performed that receiving image data from the detector; accessing correction map at least one paddle; correcting based on to generate corrected data; generating an of data. The element generally has no sharp edges, but rather smooth edges transitions between surfaces. paddle also includes flexible material spans portion bottom surface define gap. be thin-film shrink wrap.
