OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of diagnostic breast imaging using a flat-panel detector-based cone-beam CT system. CONCLUSION: Imaging of 12 mastectomy specimens was performed at 50-80 kVp with a voxel size of 145 or 290 microm. Our study shows that cone-beam breast CT images have exceptional tissue contrast and can potentially reduce examination time with comparable radiation dose.
