Breast Reconstruction Outcome:patient Satisfaction, Quality of Life and Complications [PDF]
, 2022 The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of breast reconstruction after mastectomy, in the context of a breast cancer diagnosis or risk, between reconstruction with implants (alloplastic) and with own body tissue of the lower abdomen (autologous)

Bilateral breast reconstruction with abdominal free flaps:a single centre, single surgeon retrospective review of 55 consecutive patients [PDF]
, 2016 Breast reconstruction using free tissue transfer is an increasingly utilised oncoplastic procedure. The aim was to review all bilateral breast reconstructions using abdominal free flaps by a single surgeon over an 11-year period (2003–2014).

Parallel Diffusion Model-based Sparse-view Cone-beam Breast CT [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, and early detection is crucial for reducing its mortality rate and improving quality of life. Dedicated breast computed tomography (CT) scanners offer better image quality than mammography and tomosynthesis in general but at higher radiation dose. To enable breast CT for cancer screening,

Optimization methods for very accurate Digital Breast Tomosynthesis image reconstruction [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Digital Breast Tomosynthesis is an X-ray imaging technique that allows a volumetric reconstruction of the breast, from a small number of low-dose two-dimensional projections. Although it is already used in clinical setting, enhancing the quality of the recovered images is still a subject of research.

Deep Efficient End-to-end Reconstruction (DEER) Network for Few-view Breast CT Image Reconstruction [PDF]
, 2019 Breast CT provides image volumes with isotropic resolution in high contrast, enabling detection of small calcification (down to a few hundred microns in size) and subtle density differences. Since breast is sensitive to x-ray radiation, dose reduction of breast CT is an important topic, and for this purpose, few-view scanning is a main approach.
