Breast microcalcifications are an important primary radiological indicator of breast cancer.
However, microcalcification classification and diagnosis may be still challenging for …

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 …

Attenuation-based x-ray imaging techniques have been developed for many decades. One
of the state-of-the-art imaging modalities is the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Grating-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging (GPCI) has received growing
interests in recent years due to its high capability of visualizing soft tissue. Breast imaging is …

We performed laboratory investigations of the image quality for in-line phase contrast micro
tomography dedicated to the breast, using a 3D breast phantom. We employed the cone …

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

The newly developed differential phase-contrast (DPC) imaging technique has attracted
increasing interest among researchers. In a DPC system, the self-imaging effect and the …

We performed laboratory investigations of the image quality for 2-D [digital mammography
(DM)] and 3-D [digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and computed tomography (CT)] in-line …
