X‐ray mammography of the compressed breast is well recognized as the “gold standard” for
early detection of breast cancer, but its performance is not ideal. One limitation of screening …

Breast imaging is largely indicated for detection, diagnosis, and clinical management of
breast cancer and for evaluation of the integrity of breast implants. In this work, a prospective …

Purpose Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the fourth leading cancer for women in the
United States. Understanding of the biology and clinical behavior of DCIS is imperfect. This …

Purpose The purpose of this work was to develop and make available x‐ray spectra for
some of the most widely used digital mammography (DM), breast tomosynthesis (BT), and …

The initial process for creating a flexible three‐dimensional computer‐generated breast
phantom based on empirical data is described. Dedicated breast computed‐tomography …

Breast cancer is a serious disease that accounts for approximately 40,000 deaths per year in
the United States. Unfortunately, there is no known cause of breast cancer, and therefore the …

Purpose Breast cone-beam computed tomography (BCBCT) is a flat-panel detector (FPD)-
based X-ray imaging system that provides high-quality images of the breast. The purpose of …

While model-based reconstruction methods have been successfully applied to flat-panel
cone-beam CT (FP-CBCT) systems, typical implementations ignore both spatial correlations …

The dedicated cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) is a new and promising
imaging modality which provides isotropic, 3D images of the breast with high spatial and …

Purpose: Although x‐ray projection mammography has been very effective in early detection
of breast cancer, its utility is reduced in the detection of small lesions that are occult or in …
