Characterization of Breast Microcalcifications Using Dual-Energy CBCT: Impact of Detector Configuration on Imaging Performance—A Simulation Study

Microcalcifications (HAp, CaCO3, and CaC2O4) in breast tissue may indicate malignancy. Early-stage breast cancer diagnosis may benefit from the clinical application of dual-energy techniques. Dual-energy cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) could strongly contribute to an accurate diagnosis, especia...
