X-ray computed tomography (CT) can reveal the internal details of objects in three
dimensions non-destructively. In this Primer, we outline the basic principles of CT and …

Dedicated breast CT is being increasingly used for breast imaging. This technique provides
images with no compression, removal of tissue overlap, rapid acquisition, and available …

Refraction-based x-ray imaging can overcome the fundamental contrast limit of computed
tomography (CT), particularly in soft tissue, but so far has been constrained to high-dose ex …

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

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 …

Purpose Propagation‐based phase‐contrast computed tomography (PB‐CT) is a method for
three‐dimensional x‐ray imaging that utilizes refraction, as well as absorption, of x rays in …

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

The ability of biomedical imaging data to be of quantitative nature is getting increasingly
important with the ongoing developments in data science. In contrast to conventional …

Photon-counting detectors provide several potential advantages in biomedical x-ray imaging
including fast and readout noise free data acquisition, sharp pixel response, and high …

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 …
