1. Assessment of mammography screening using clinical and virtual data
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Aim: Virtual clinical trials (VCT) in medical imaging can be used to predict the outcome of clinical trials, by simulating anatomy, imaging methods and image interpretation. VCTs could reduce the cost and duration of clinical trials and their dependence on available patients. READ MORE

2. A Quantitative Comparison of Synthetic Mammograms with Images from Conventional Mammography
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden. To be able to treat the disease it is important that it is detected at an early stage. In Sweden, women between 40 and 74 years are regularly offered screening with mammography to detect abnormalities in their breasts. READ MORE

3. Characterization of breast tomosynthesis systems: A comparison and optimization
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Aim: The aim of the study is to characterize the dependency of image quality on absorbed dose for two breast tomosynthesis (BT) systems, GE Senographe Pristina and Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and compare the systems. The image quality was evaluated by different parameters such as: in-plane and in-depth spatial resolution, artifact spread function (ASF) and signal-difference-to-noise ratio (SDNR). READ MORE

4. Effects of slabbing and slice thickness on image reading time and micro calcification detection in breast tomosynthesis
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is a new X-ray modality that reconstructs the breast volume in many slices instead of, as in mammography, showing a single 2D projection of the breast. The slice thickness is typically 1 mm for clinically used BT-units. READ MORE

5. Evaluation of Photon-Counting Spectral Breast Tomosynthesis
University essay from KTH/Medicinsk bildfysikAbstract : The superposition of anatomical structures often greatly impedes detectability in conventional mammography. Spectral imaging and tomosynthesis are two promising methods used for suppression of the anatomical background. READ MORE
