A 3D Active Microwave Imaging System for Breast Cancer Screening
(2008-12-11)A 3D microwave imaging system suitable for clinical trials has been developed. The anatomy, histology, and pathology of breast cancer were all carefully considered in the development of this system. The central component ... -
Comparative performance of multiview stereoscopic and mammographic display modalities for breast lesion detection.
(Med Phys, 2011-04)PURPOSE: Mammography is known to be one of the most difficult radiographic exams to interpret. Mammography has important limitations, including the superposition of normal tissue that can obscure a mass, chance alignment ... -
Computer Aided Detection of Masses in Breast Tomosynthesis Imaging Using Information Theory Principles
(2008-09-18)Breast cancer screening is currently performed by mammography, which is limited by overlying anatomy and dense breast tissue. Computer aided detection (CADe) systems can serve as a double reader to improve radiologist ... -
Correlation Imaging for Improved Cancer Detection
(2008-11-10)We present a new x-ray imaging technique, Correlation Imaging (CI), for improved breast and lung cancer detection. In CI, multiple low-dose radiographic images are acquired along a limited angular arc. Information ... -
Evaluation of a Dedicated SPECT-CT Mammotomography System for Quantitative Hybrid Breast Imaging
(2010)The overall goal of this dissertation is to optimize and evaluate the performance of the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) subsystem of a dedicated three-dimensional (3D) dual-modality breast imaging system ... -
Micro-CT imaging of breast tumors in rodents using a liposomal, nanoparticle contrast agent.
(Int J Nanomedicine, 2009)A long circulating liposomal, nanoscale blood pool agent encapsulating traditional iodinated contrast agent (65 mg I/mL) was used for micro-computed tomography (CT) imaging of rats implanted with R3230AC mammary carcinoma. ... -
Promoting community practitioners' use of evidence-based approaches to increase breast cancer screening.
(Public Health Nurs, 2013-07)Many women do not get mammography screenings at the intervals recommended for early detection and treatment of breast cancer. The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide) recommends a range of evidence-based ...
