Mammography is a very well‐established imaging modality for the early detection and
diagnosis of breast cancer. However, since the introduction of digital imaging to the realm of …

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has become a well-established breast imaging
technique, whose performance has been investigated in many clinical studies, including a …

Purpose We present the development and the current state of the MaXIMA Breast Lesions
Models Database, which is intended to provide researchers with both segmented and …

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 …

Virtual clinical trials (VCT) have been developed by a number of groups to study breast
imaging applications, with the focus on digital breast tomosynthesis imaging. In this review …

The aim of this work was to propose system sharpness parameters for digital breast
tomosynthesis (DBT) systems that include the influence of focus size and focus motion for …

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 …

Planar 2D x-ray mammography is generally accepted as the preferred screening technique
used for breast cancer detection. Recently, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has been …

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is under consideration to replace or to be used in
combination with 2D-mammography in breast screening. The aim of this study was the …

A new method of generating realistic three dimensional simulated breast lesions known as
diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is presented, and compared with the random walk (RW) …
