Enhancing Diagnostic Precision in Breast Cancer Detection: A Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Workshop Approach for Clinicians in the Southeast Asian Population. [PDF]
The study showed that clinicians significantly improved in detecting breast cancer after training sessions with simultaneous double readers for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis test sets. This highlighted the importance of tailored training programs, especially in countries without formal screening programs, to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of local ...

Patient, facility, and community determinants of timely follow up after abnormal screening mammograms in Appalachia: A multilevel analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Examine the extent that community and organizational characteristics influence mammogram recall and biopsy rates in Appalachia. Methods We collected facility survey and Medicare claims (2016‐2018) data on 191 FDA‐registered breast imaging organizations serving 2.65 million women in 5 Appalachian states (KY, OH, PA, VA, and WV). Primary

Focal spot motion in digital breast tomosynthesis and its effect on spatial resolution. [PDF]
Abstract Background Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has become standard practice; however, the acquisition method of DBT between vendors is far from standardized. Currently, there are three commercially available DBT tube motion techniques: (1) continuous motion, (2) step‐and‐shoot, and (3) continuous motion with flying focal spot.

Agreement Among Breast Cancer Screening Modalities in Breast Density Assessment and Cancer Risk Prediction. [PDF]
Background Breast density is increasingly recognized as a vital risk factor that affects early breast cancer detection. Therefore, this study was aimed at evaluating the agreement between different breast density measurements across multiple imaging modalities and identifying the best breast cancer predictor among these methods.

Image quality comparison of synthesized two‐dimensional images and digital mammography in breast tomosynthesis: A quantitative analysis [PDF]
Abstract Background Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer‐related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early detection of breast cancer using high‐quality mammography is essential for improving prognosis and treatment outcomes. Digital breast tomosynthesis with synthesized two‐dimensional mammography (SM) reduces dose and tissue overlap ...

Inter-plane artifact suppression in tomosynthesis using 3D CT image data
Background Despite its superb lateral resolution, flat-panel-detector (FPD) based tomosynthesis suffers from low contrast and inter-plane artifacts caused by incomplete cancellation of the projection components stemming from outside the focal plane.

The Role of Acquisition Angle in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: A Texture Analysis Study
Background: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) systems employ a sophisticated set of acquisition parameters to generate an image set, and the DBT acquisition angle is considered to be one of the most important parameters. The aim of this study was to use
