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 …

A novel method has been developed for generating quasi-realistic voxel phantoms which
simulate the compressed breast in mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) …

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 …

Purpose: This work proposes a new method of building 3D models of microcalcification
clusters and describes the validation of their realistic appearance when simulated into 2D …

Purpose: This work proposes a new method of building 3D breast mass models with
different morphological shapes and describes the validation of the realism of their …

Purpose: The impact of system parameters on signal detectability can be studied with
simulation platforms. We describe the steps taken to verify and confirm the accuracy of a …

Purpose: Four different practical methodologies of quantifying scattered radiation for two
different digital mammographic systems are compared. The study considered both grid in …

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a 3D modality that may have the potential to
complement or replace 2D mammography. One major design aspect of DBT systems is the …

Purpose: The aim of this work was twofold:(1) to examine whether, with standard automatic
exposure control (AEC) settings that maintain pixel values in the detector constant, lesion …

This work investigates the detection performance of specialist and non-specialist observers
for different targets in 2D-mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) using the …
