Abstract Breast Computed Tomography (bCT) is a three-dimensional imaging technique that
is raising interest among radiologists as a viable alternative to mammographic planar …

The limits of mammography have led to an increasing interest on possible alternatives such
as the breast Computed Tomography (bCT). The common goal of all X-ray imaging …

The purpose of this work is to provide an evaluation of the mean glandular dose (MGD) for
breast computed tomography (CT) with synchrotron radiation in an axial scanning …

A system for in vivo breast imaging with monochromatic x-rays has been designed and built
at the synchrotron radiation facility Elettra in Trieste (Italy) and will be operational in 2004 …

In this study we compared the image quality of a synchrotron radiation (SR) breast computed
tomography (BCT) system with a clinical BCT in terms of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) …

The aim of the SYRMA-CT collaboration is to set-up the first clinical trial of phase-contrast
breast CT with synchrotron radiation (SR). In order to combine high image quality and low …

For several years a large variety of in‐vitro medical imaging studies were carried out at the
SYRMEP (Synchrotron Radiation for Medical Physics) beamline of the synchrotron radiation …

Purpose: The authors investigated the choice of spectra for the optimization of the dose‐
weighted contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNRD) for a dedicated breast CT scanner. The objective is …

Recent developments have shown that high resolution phase contrast x-ray computed
tomography (CT) of the breast can be performed at clinically compatible doses. Results have …

X-ray breast computed tomography (breast-CT) is a new emerging technique for breast
imaging however its application is still limited because of low spatial resolution and high …
