ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, article of manufacture and method of creating an image of uncompressed matter from compressed matter are disclosed, such as a method of creating an image of uncompressed human breast tissue from an x-ray image of breast tissue compressed in the mammography process. The method embodiment includes the steps of dividing the compressed matter into a plurality of volumetric cells; collecting intensity data from the compressed matter, for each volumetric cell of the plurality of volumetric cells, to form volumetric cell data; and utilizing a deformation state lens and the volumetric cell data, creating the image of uncompressed matter.
