				The performance of a novel designed x-ray CT scanning geometry is investigated. Composed of a specially designed tungsten collimation mask and a high resolution flat panel detector, this scanning geometry provides high efficient data acquisition allowing dose reduction potentially up to 50%. In recent years a special type of scanning geometry has been proposed. A first prototype of this geometry called CTDOR(CT with Dual Optimal Reading) has already been built. Despite many drawbacks, resulting images have shown promising potential of dual reading. The approach of gaining two subsets of data has anew been picked up and come to terms with a novel designed CT scanner for breast imaging. The main idea consists of collimating the X-ray beam through a specially designed shielding mask thereby reducing radiation dose without compromising image quality. This is achieved by hexagonally sampled Radon transform and image reconstruction with the especially suitable OPED (orthogonal polynomial expansion on disk) algorithm. This work now presents the development and evaluation of the novel designed breast CT system. Therefore simulated phantom data were obtained to test the performance of the scanning device and compared to a standard 3rd generation scanner. Retaining advantages such as scatter-correction potential and 3D-capability, the proposed CT system yields high resolution images for breast diagnostics in low energy ranges. Assuming similar sample size, it is expected that the novel designed breast CT system in conjunction with OPED outperforms the standard 3rd generation CT system combined with FBP (filtered back projection).
