Abstract

Several strategies have been investigated to acquire both low- and high-energy images simultaneously for contrastenhanced mammography (CEM). However, for the dual-energy technique where the existing conventional mammography infrastructure can be leveraged, low- and high-energy images are acquired using two separate exposures and the finite time between image acquisition leads to motion artifacts in the combined image. Motion artifacts lead to greater noise in the combined image and affect image quality, however the relationship between them is not clear. In this study we examine motion artifacts in dual-energy CEM and their impact on anatomical noise in the combined image and tumor detectability. To study the impact of motion artifacts, a cascaded systems model is extended to include such motion artifacts. An ideal observer model is used to quantify the performance and CEM images from a previous clinical study are used for comparison of the extended model.
