Effect of an organised screening program on socioeconomic inequalities in mammography practice, knowledge and attitudes

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2018
Background Breast cancer stands as the leading cause of cancer related mortality in women worldwide. Mammography screening has the potential to improve prognosis by reducing stage at diagnosis.

Initial results of in vivo non-invasive cancer imaging in the human breast using near-infrared photoacoustics [PDF]

, 2007
Near-infrared photoacoustic images of regions-of-interest in 4 of the 5 cases of patients with symptomatic breasts reveal higher intensity regions which we attribute to vascular distribution associated with cancer.

Effect of three decades of screening mammography on breast-cancer incidence.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
BACKGROUND To reduce mortality, screening must detect life-threatening disease at an earlier, more curable stage. Effective cancer-screening programs therefore both increase the incidence of cancer detected at an early stage and decrease the incidence of

Probing the Stability of Convolution Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines With Transmission Low Wavenumber Raman Spectroscopic Data

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
No spectral dataset is perfect, but how severely will imperfection cost you? This study finds that CNNs are more robust against spectral errors than SVMs, particularly with data that exhibits day‐to‐day calibration‐type errors. However, when no artefacts are present, the SVM produces the best model.

Evaluation of four learning collaboratives for improving diagnostic excellence in radiology

Learning Health Systems, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Learning collaboratives are frequently used within healthcare to facilitate practice improvement through collaboration among clinical teams across multiple organizations. The aim of this study was to use the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) collaborative taxonomy to identify collaborative elements that influence ...

Characterizing the imaging environment for supine breast MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Supine breast MRI has the potential to improve over standard prone breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in terms of efficiency and image quality, image alignment with diagnostic and treatment procedures, and overall accessibility. This study aims to characterize potential technical challenges of imaging in the supine position: (i ...

Optimized reconstruction of undersampled Dixon sequences using new memory‐efficient unrolled deep neural networks: HalfVarNet and HalfDIRCN

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Fat fraction (FF) quantification in individual muscles using quantitative MRI is of major importance for monitoring disease progression and assessing disease severity in neuromuscular diseases. Undersampling of MRI acquisitions is commonly used to reduce scanning time. The present paper introduces novel unrolled neural networks for the
