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

2. The Role of Projected Anatomy, Random Noise, and Spatial Resolution on Clinical Image Quality in Digital Mammography
Abstract : Due to the recent advances in digital detector technology, there is an increasing trend in the use of digital mammography (DM) as a concurrent modality with screen-film mammography (SFM). In order to fully realize its potential, the components of a DM system should be optimized with respect to clinical image quality in order for clinicians to make accurate diagnoses. READ MORE

3. A Discrete Dipole Approximation Forward Solver for Microwave Breast Imaging
Abstract : Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate of cancers in women worldwide. Early detection results in a higher survival rate. Drawbacks in conventional imaging modalities, including painful exams, have limited periodic breast screening. READ MORE

4. MICROWAVE IMAGING OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUES: applied toward breast tumor detection
Abstract : Microwave imaging is an efficient diagnostic modality for non-invasively visualizing dielectric contrasts of non-metallic bodies. An increasing interest of this field has been observed during the last decades. Many application areas in biomedicine have been issued, recently the breast tumor detection application using microwave imaging. READ MORE

5. Magnetic resonance imaging in breast diagnosis
Abstract : MRI of the breast has, since the introduction of gadolinium contrast agents, been increasingly used in breast investigations. MRI has been found to have a high sensitivity but a low specificity in cancer detection. The aim of this thesis was to study and establish the role of MRI in the clinical diagnosis of breast lesions.
