Sin-quadratic model for chest tomosynthesis respiratory signal analysis and its application in four dimensional chest tomosynthesis reconstruction

Lung cancer is one of the most common fatal cancers in both developing and developed countries [1]. Up to now, the chest X-ray radiography (CXR) remains the most commonly used imaging modality for pulmonary lesion detection with the advantages of low radiation dose, low cost and high throughput [2]. Nevertheless, CXR produces two dimensional images containing superimposed anatomic structures, which reduces its sensitivity and specificity for the detection of thoracic abnormalities [3,4].
