Dual energy (DE) technique has been used by numerous studies in order to detect breast
cancer in early stages. Although mammography is the gold standard, the dual energy …

Purpose The purpose of this work was to develop and make available x‐ray spectra for
some of the most widely used digital mammography (DM), breast tomosynthesis (BT), and …

Calcifications are products of mineralization whose presence is usually associated with
pathological conditions. The minerals mostly seen in several diseases are calcium oxalate …

Restoration of images corrupted with periodic noise is a fundamental task in digital image
processing since periodic noise affects all imaging processes. The paper presents an …

Background: Mammographic digital imaging is based on X-ray sensors with solid image
quality characteristics. These primarily include (a) a response curve that yields high contrast …

Periodic noise degrades the image quality by overlaying similar patterns. This noise
appears as peaks in the image spectrum. In this research, a method based on fuzzy …

Dual-energy imaging represents a versatile and evolving technology with wide-ranging
applications in medicine and beyond. Recent technological developments increased the …

To quantitatively evaluate the possible advantages of quantifying and differentiating various
soft tissues using virtual monochromatic images (VMI) derived from different dual-energy …

During the last decades, there is increasing interest in applications of scintillators at harsh
environments (ie, high temperatures or radiation fluxes), such as in geophysical detectors for …

Scintillators are radiation converters applied in medical imaging detectors, in applications at
harsh environments, including in geophysical detectors for deep geology boreholes, non …
