Purpose: To evaluate the maximum performance gain that can theoretically be achieved
with differential phase contrast computed tomography (PCT) compared with absorption …

X-ray imaging is a corner stone of breast cancer diagnosis. By exploiting the phase shift of X-
rays rather than their attenuation, phase-contrast tomography has the potential to …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of phase-contrast
mammography with synchrotron radiation using a high-resolution computed radiology (CR) …

The Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) is a superconducting multipole wiggler-based
beamline at the 3 GeV Australian Synchrotron operated by the Australian Nuclear Science …

A program devoted to perform the first in-vivo monochromatic breast computed tomography
(BCT) is ongoing at the Elettra Synchrotron Facility. Since the synchrotron radiation provides …

Breast cancer constitutes about one-quarter of all cancers and is the leading cause of
cancer death in women. To reduce breast cancer mortality, mammographic screening …

We present the implementation of a computed tomography (CT) iterative reconstruction
strategy developed within the SYRMA-CT project for in vivo phase-contrast CT of …

Breast imaging is one of the most demanding and delicate radiological applications.
Mammography is the primary diagnosis tool in breast cancer detection and national …

Digital mammography has limitations in sensitivity, in particular for patients with a dense
breast. Phase contrast techniques (phase contrast mammography, PCM) might increase the …

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) …
