Objective. Differentiation of breast tissues is challenging in X-ray imaging because tissues
might share similar or even the same linear attenuation coefficients μ. Spectral computed …

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

Spectral X-ray imaging allows to differentiate between two given tissue types, provided their
spectral absorption characteristics differ measurably. In mammography, this method is used …

A quantitative characterization of the soft tissues composing the human breast is achieved
by means of a monochromatic CT phase-contrast imaging system, through accurate …

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 …

Abstract Purpose Within the SYRMA-CT collaboration based at the ELETTRA synchrotron
radiation (SR) facility the authors investigated the imaging performance of the phase …

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 …

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of breast tissue composition in terms of water, lipid,
and protein with a cadmium‐zinc‐telluride (CZT) based computed tomography (CT) system …

We present upgraded versions of MC-GPU and penEasy_Imaging, two open-source Monte
Carlo codes for the simulation of radiographic projections and CT, that have been extended …
