Abstract

Purpose: Tomosynthesis is a limited-angle multi-projection method that was conceived to address a significant limitation of conventional single-projection x-ray imaging: the overlap of structures in an image. We trace the historical evolution of tomosynthesis.

Approach: Relevant papers are discussed including descriptions of technical advances and clinical applications.

Results: We start with the invention of tomosynthesis by Ziedses des Plantes in the Netherlands and Kaufman in the United States in the mid-1930s and end with our predictions of future technical advances. Some of the other topics that are covered include a respiratory-gated chest tomosynthesis system of the late 1930s, film-based systems of the 1960s and 1970s, coded aperture tomosynthesis, fluoroscopy tomosynthesis, digital detector-based tomosynthesis for imaging the breast and body, orthopedic, dental and radiotherapy applications, optimization of acquisition parameters for breast and body tomosynthesis, reconstruction methods, characteristics of present-day tomosynthesis systems, x-ray tubes, and promising new applications including contrast-enhanced and multimodal breast imaging systems.

Conclusion: Tomosynthesis has had an exciting history that continues today. This should serve as a foundation for other papers in the special issue "Celebrating Digital Tomosynthesis: Past, Present and Future" in the Journal of Medical Imaging.

断层合成的进化。

目的：层析合成是一种有限角度的多投影方法，旨在解决传统单投影x射线成像的重大限制：图像中结构的重叠。我们追溯了断层合成的历史演变。方法：对相关文献进行讨论，包括技术进展和临床应用的描述。结果：我们从20世纪30年代中期荷兰的Ziedses des Plantes和美国的Kaufman发明的断层合成开始，并以我们对未来技术进步的预测结束。涵盖的其他一些主题包括20世纪30年代末的呼吸门控胸部断层合成系统，20世纪60年代和70年代的基于电影的系统，编码孔径断层合成，透视断层合成，用于乳房和身体成像的基于数字探测器的断层合成，骨科，牙科和放疗应用，乳房和身体断层合成采集参数的优化，重建方法，当今断层合成系统的特点，x射线管，以及有前景的新应用，包括对比度增强和多模态乳房成像系统。结论：层析合成有一个令人兴奋的历史，今天仍在继续。这应该成为《医学成像杂志》特刊“庆祝数字断层合成：过去、现在和未来”中其他论文的基础。
