Material decomposition for simulated dual-energy breast computed tomography via hybrid optimization method.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the potential of applying dual-energy reconstruction in breast CT to detect and separate clustered MCs from healthy breast tissues without noise amplification. Compared to other competing methods, the proposed algorithm achieves the best noise suppression performance for both reconstructed and decomposed images.
