Background The extent of intraductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is commonly underestimated
due to the discontinuous growth and lack of microcalcifications. Specimen radiography has …

Objective Limited contrast between healthy and tumour tissue is a limiting factor in
mammography and CT of the breast. Phase-contrast computed tomography (PC-CT) …

Background Grating-based phase contrast computed tomography (PC-CT) at synchrotron
radiation sources has been shown to provide improved visualization of breast tumors …

Stereomicroscopic observations of thick sections, or three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructions
from serial sections, have provided insights into histopathology. However, they generally …

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide. Diagnosing breast cancer
relies on clinical examination, imaging and biopsy. A core-needle biopsy enables a …

Detecting breast tissue alterations is essential for cancer diagnosis. However, inherent
bidimensionality limits histological procedures' effectiveness in identifying these changes …

Background Fibroadenoma is the most common benign solid breast lesion type and a very
common cause for histologic assessment. To justify a conservative therapy, a highly specific …

Phase-contrast imaging techniques address the issue of poor soft-tissue contrast
encountered in traditional X-ray imaging. This can be accomplished with the propagation …

To explore the potential of grating-based x-ray phase-contrast computed tomography (CT)
for preclinical research, a genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic ductal …

Purpose Compare conspicuity of ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) to benign calcifications on
unenhanced (bCT), contrast-enhanced dedicated breast CT (CEbCT) and mammography …
