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 …

Breast phantoms are a fundamental asset both in routine quality assurance programs and
for comparing scanner performance in 2D and 3D x-ray breast imaging. They also play an …

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 …

Achilles tendons are mechanosensitive, and their complex hierarchical structure is in part
the result of the mechanical stimulation conveyed by the muscles. To fully understand how …

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

The assessment of margin involvement is a fundamental task in breast conserving surgery to
prevent recurrences and reoperations. It is usually performed through histology, which …

Background Synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SR-CT) holds promise for high-
resolution in vivo imaging. Notably, the reconstruction of SR-CT images necessitates a large …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive medical diagnostic tool that has raised
public concerns due to the associated health risks of radiation dose to patients. Reducing …

Breast microcalcifications are an important primary radiological indicator of breast cancer.
However, microcalcification classification and diagnosis may be still challenging for …

Many lung disease processes are characterized by structural and functional heterogeneity
that is not directly appreciable with traditional physiological measurements. Experimental …
