Comparison of propagation-based CT using synchrotron radiation and conventional cone-beam CT for breast imaging

ConclusionsSynchrotron-based PB-CT can achieve a significantly higher radiological image quality at a substantially lower radiation dose compared with conventional CBBCT.Key Points• PB-CT using synchrotron radiation results in higher image quality than conventional CBBCT for breast imaging.• PB-CT using synchrotron radiation requires a lower radiation dose than conventional CBBCT for breast imaging.• PB-CT can help clinicians diagnose patients with breast cancer.
