Background The image quality of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) volumes depends greatly on the reconstruction algorithm. [] Key Method In parallel, a three-dimensional deep-learning convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) was trained (n = 259 patients, 51 positives with BI-RADS 3, 4, or 5 calcifications) and tested (n = 46 patients, nine positives), separately with FBP and EMPIRE volumes, to discriminate between samples with and without calcifications.
