Examples of core biopsy clips of various shapes in DBT. Each row from left to right: focal plane of clip, interplane artifacts on a slice 3.0 to 3.6 cm from the focal plane, focal plane of clip with MAR, corresponding off-focal plane with MAR. The round object in (c) is a dense benign calcification that also caused artifacts in the reconstructed slices. The calcification was detected and its artifacts were removed in the images with MAR, but it was counted as false positive in this study.
