Spectral imaging is an umbrella term for energy-resolved X-ray imaging in medicine. The
technique makes use of the energy dependence of X-ray attenuation to either increase the …

Purpose It is estimated that 7% of women in the western world will develop palpable breast
cysts in their lifetime. Even though cysts have been correlated with risk of developing breast …

Conventional X-ray mammography has low diagnostic sensitivity for women with dense
breasts. As a result, alternative contrast-enhanced screening tools such as dual energy …

Significant effort has been focused on developing renally clearable nanoparticle agents
since efficient renal clearance is important for eventual clinical translation. Silver sulfide …

Purpose The aim of this study was to differentiate malignant and benign solid breast lesions
with a novel ultrasound (US) technique, which measures speed of sound (SoS) using …

Abstract Knowledge of x-ray attenuation is essential for developing and evaluating x-ray
imaging technologies. In mammography, measurement of breast density, dose estimation …

Photon-counting mammography is an emerging modality that allows for spectral imaging
and provides a differentiation of material compositions. The development of photon-counting …

Purpose A dual‐energy material decomposition method using photon‐counting spectral
mammography was investigated as a non‐invasive diagnostic approach to differentiate …

Photon counting detectors (PCD) have the potential to improve x-ray imaging; however, they
are still hindered by high costs and performance limitations. By using amorphous selenium …

Abstract Knowledge of x-ray attenuation is essential for developing and evaluating x-ray
imaging technologies. For instance, techniques to distinguish between cysts and solid …
