Objectives Differential phase contrast and scattering-based x-ray mammography has the
potential to provide additional and complementary clinically relevant information compared …

Objectives: Phase-contrast and scattering-based x-ray imaging are known to provide
additional and complementary information to conventional, absorption-based methods, and …

Phase contrast and scattering-based X-ray imaging are very promising tools for medical
diagnostics because they are able to provide additional and complementary information to …

Objectives Conventional X-ray attenuation-based contrast is inherently low for the soft-tissue
components of the female breast. To overcome this limitation, we investigate the diagnostic …

This chapter is dedicated to the clinical compatibility of laboratory-based phase-contrast
mammography. First, we present which hardware changes and optimizations were …

The first clinical study of phase-contrast mammography (PCM) with synchrotron radiation
was carried out at the Synchrotron Radiation for Medical Physics beamline of the Elettra …

With the introduction of screening mammography, the mortality rate of breast cancer has
been reduced throughout the last decades. However, many women undergo unnecessary …

Phase-contrast x-ray imaging is a promising improvement of conventional absorption-based
mammography for early tumor detection. This potential has been demonstrated recently …

Breast cancer is a globally widespread disease whose detection has already been
significantly improved by the introduction of screening programs. Nevertheless …

Rationale and Objectives: The image quality of a newly developed full-field digital phase
contrast mammography (PCM) system and of a conventional screen-film (SF) …
