This article shows the feasibility of using the open source Tomographic Iterative GPU-based Reconstruction (TIGRE) Toolbox, originally developed for cone-beam x-ray computed tomography (CBCT), to reconstruct images from a Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) system. We present reconstructed images of simple simulated phantoms as well as the commercially available breast phantoms CIRS models 013 and 073; acquired by a Hologic Selenia Dimensions system. Initial results have shown the ability of TIGRE to reconstruct images using several reconstruction algorithms (FDK, OSSART, MLEM), although a wider variety of iterative algorithms could be also considered. This is the first work that uses the TIGRE reconstruction tool for DBT geometries, opening new possibilities for free, fast and reliable reconstruction algorithms to other research groups.
