PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To make it possible to create a legacy mammogram image from tomosynthesis image data, by using a mamma tomosynthesis system. SOLUTION : A 2D mammogram image is synthesized from at least one of tomosynthesis projection images and/or tomosynthesis reconstructed image data pieces. In a simplest form, a mammogram may be synthesized by selecting one of the tomosynthesis projection images for display as a synthesized mammogram. Other methods of synthesizing a mammogram include re-projecting and filtering projection data and/or reconstructed data. The synthesized mammogram is advantageously displayed together with at least a portion of the reconstructed data to aid in review of the reconstructed data. The present invention thus provides a familiar image which may be used to facilitate review of a tomosynthesis dataset. COPYRIGHT : (C)2014, JPO&INPIT
