Breast biomecanical modeling for compression optimization in digital breast tomosynthesis [PDF]
A. Gefen and D. Weihs. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and
Biomedical Engineering, Lecture Notes in Bioengineering, Springer
International Publishing, pp.29-35, 2018, 2018 Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates until a nearly uniform breast thickness is obtained. This technique improves image quality and reduces dose but can also be the source of discomfort and sometimes pain for the ...

Primary extranodal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: Molecular features, treatment, and prognosis
Aging and Cancer, Volume 3, Issue 3-4, Page 133-146, September-December 2022., 2022 One‐third of DLBCL arises from extranodal organs and is challenging to manage. Molecular features are critical to elucidate the differences in clinical features, predict the disease prognosis, and improve effective targeted therapeutic strategies. Abstract Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and ...

Surgery and prophylactic surgery in hereditary breast cancer [PDF]
The Breast, 2021 Women with hereditary breast cancer are at increased risk of second primary cancers in the ipsilateral and contralateral breast. The level of risk varies with mutation and age at first breast cancer diagnosis. These factors as well as life expectancy should be considered when selecting the surgical approach.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose A set of treatment planning strategies were designed and retrospectively implemented for locally advanced, non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in order to minimize cardiac dose without compromising target coverage goals. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for 20 NSCLC patients prescribed to 60–66 Gy that received a ...

Breast simulation pipeline: from medical imaging to patient-specific simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Breast-conserving surgery is the most acceptable operation for breast cancer removal from an invasive and psychological point of view. Before the surgical procedure, a preoperative MRI is performed in the prone configuration, while the surgery is achieved in the supine position.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background and purpose For postoperative breast cancer patients, deformable image registration (DIR) is challenged due to the large deformations and non‐correspondence caused by tumor resection and clip insertion. To deal with it, three metrics (fiducial‐, region‐, and intensity‐based) were jointly used in DIR algorithm for improved accuracy ...
