Anthropomorphic breast phantoms are both, computational and physical, anatomically and
radiologically realistic models of the human female breast, and are considered an excellent …

Purpose With the advent of three‐dimensional (3D) breast imaging modalities such as
digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and dedicated breast CT (bCT), research into new …

Purpose: Physical phantoms are essential for the development, optimization, and evaluation
of x‐ray breast imaging systems. Recognizing the major effect of anatomy on image quality …

Purpose: The authors present an efficient method for generating anthropomorphic software
breast phantoms with high spatial resolution. Employing the same region growing principles …

Purpose Physical phantoms are central to the evaluation of 2D and 3D breast‐imaging
systems. Currently, available physical phantoms have limitations including unrealistic …

Purpose: This work characterizes three candidate mammography phantoms with structured
background in terms of power law analysis in the low frequency region of the power …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of the number of projection views on image noise in cone‐
beam CT (CBCT) with a flat‐panel detector. Methods: This fairly fundamental consideration …

Simulated breast lesion models, including microcalcification clusters and masses, have
been used in several studies. Realistic lesion models are required for virtual clinical trials to …

Background Breast compression is important in mammography in order to improve image
quality, better separate tissue components, and reduce absorbed dose to the breast. In this …

Breast cancer diagnosis using radar-based medical MicroWave Imaging (MWI) has been
studied in recent years. Realistic numerical and physical models of the breast are needed …
