  2. 1. Characterization and Optimization of Silicon-strip Detectors for Mammography and Computed Tomography

    Author : Han Chen; Mats Danielsson; cheng xu; Andrew Maidment; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mammography; anti-scatter grid; photon-counting; spectral computed tomography; silicon strip; ASIC; energy resolution; Compton scatter; material decomposition; K-edge imaging; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

    Abstract : The goal in medical x-ray imaging is to obtain the image quality requiredfor a given detection task, while ensuring that the patient dose is kept as lowas reasonably achievable. The two most common strategies for dose reductionare: optimizing incident x-ray beams and utilizing energy informationof transmitted beams with new detector techniques (spectral imaging). READ MORE

  4. 2. Predicting Prognosis and Tamoxifen Response in Breast Cancer. With a special focus on contralateral breast cancer

    Author : Sara Alkner; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; prognosis; treatment prediction; endocrine treatment; tamoxifen; coactivator; AIB1; PAX2; SRC; contralateral breast cancer; premenopausal; randomized trial; mode of detection; mammography.;

    Abstract : One of the great challenges in breast cancer treatment today is to customize adjuvant treatment to each patient’s individual needs. To do this it is necessary to learn more about the prognostic and treatment predictive factors that determine the risk of relapse and response to a certain mode of treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Measurement of Tumor Extent and Effects of Breast Compression in Digital Mammography and Breast Tomosynthesis

    Author : Daniel Förnvik; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; digital mammography; breast tomosynthesis; breast compression; pressure distribution; breast cancer; circulating tumor cell;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in the western countries. Today x-ray digital mammography (DM) of the breast is commonly used for early detection of breast cancer. However, the sensitivity of mammography is limited, mainly due to the fact that a 3D volume is projected down to a 2D image. READ MORE

  6. 4. Breast cancer risk assessment and detection in mammograms with artificial intelligence

    Author : Yue Liu; Kevin Smith; Hossein Azizpour; Fredrik Strand; Anders Eklund; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mammography; AI; Breast cancer risk; Breast cancer detection; Mammografi; AI; Bröstcancerrisk; Upptäckt av bröstcancer; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Breast cancer, the most common type of cancer among women worldwide, necessitates reliable early detection methods. Although mammography serves as a cost-effective screening technique, its limitations in sensitivity emphasize the need for more advanced detection approaches. READ MORE

  7. 5. DCIS of the breast : aspects on treatment and prognosis

    Author : Charlotta Wadsten; Malin Sund; Fredrik Wärnberg; Marjut Leidenius; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer form and a leading cause of death in women worldwide. Ductal breast carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is characterized by a proliferation of malignant cells confined within the mammary ducts and is a potential precursor of invasive breast cancer. READ MORE
