| Abstract | In digital tomosynthesis (DTS), accurate scatter correction is often necessary for quantitative analysis. This is especially important because low energy x-ray of 10–40 keV, which is widely used for the breast imaging to enhance the contrast between adipose and glandular, results in high scatter fraction. In this paper, we propose an iterative scatter correction for digital tomopsynthesis using composition ratio update and GPU based Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). One of the technical difficulty in scatter estimation using MCS for tomosynthesis is that accurate segmentation of 3D volume is very difficult due to the low resolution of the reconstruction object. Thus, an intermediate surrogate object is introduced to represent composition ratio between adipose and glandular. We show that the composition ratio can be calculated using average attenuation coefficients. Another technical challenge is extremely high computational cost of MCS. We overcome this using GPU based ultra-fast MCS. Our results demonstrate that our iterative scatter correction using composition ratio update is indeed effective in improving the quality of the reconstruction object in a reasonable time frame. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
