1. 1. Assessment of mammography screening using clinical and virtual data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Hanna Tomic; [2020]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : 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

3. 2. Meta-analysis of whether mammilla tumor metastasis can be mitigated by mass-testing

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Shafir Sabbag; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Tumors are mutated abnormal groups of cells that develop at any stage of life in any part of the body. Mammilla tumors appear in chest tissue that contain malignant cells in the terminal ductal-lobular unit, where the risk of the development of a mammilla tumor increases with age with a probability of 14.7%.

4. 3. A Quantitative Comparison of Synthetic Mammograms with Images from Conventional Mammography

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Ellinor Frost; [2019]
   Keywords : mammography; mammogram; breast tomosynthesis; synthetic mammogram; breast cancer; noise power spectrum; breast density; artificial intelligence; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : 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

5. 4. Characterization of breast tomosynthesis systems: A comparison and optimization

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Thanh Tra Pham; [2019]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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

6. 5. Effects of slabbing and slice thickness on image reading time and micro calcification detection in breast tomosynthesis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Martin Andersson; [2011]
   Keywords : Röntgen; Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : 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
