CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Mammography is the best method for breast-cancer screening and is capable of reducing mortality rates. Studies that have assessed the clinical impact of mammography have been carried out using film ...

We proposed to compare the accuracy and effectiveness of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), plus digital or synthetic mammography, with digital mammography alone in women attending population-based breast cancer screenings. ...

The most significant radiation field nonuniformity is the well-known Heel effect. This nonuniform beam effect has a negative influence on the results of computer-aided diagnosis of mammograms, which is frequently used for ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the computed assessment of a mammographic phantom device. The approach shown here is fully automated and is based on the automatic selection of the region of interest, in the use of ...

La mamografía digital resolvió muchos de los problemas asociados a la mamografía analógica. Una opción utilizada con mucha frecuencia para migrar a la técnica digital directa consiste en digitalizar equipos analógicos. ...

In digital mammography, imaging acquisition, display and storage processes are separated and individually optimized. Radiation transmitted through the breast is absorbed by an electronic detector with an accurate response ...
