Tomosynthesis can be used to avoid images in which bone and tissue overlap, or even to observe micro fracture lines that are difficult to identify using general radiographic images. However, because tomosynthesis requires precise mechanical control mechanisms, tomosynthesis can only be used for limited modalities.
Therefore, in order to make it easier to use tomosynthesis imaging, Shimadzu have developed new technology using image processing expertise which is Shimadzu’s strength.
