Anatomy of the Breast Each breast contains 15 to 20 lobes, each made up of several smaller sections called lobules (NCCN 2016; PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board 2017). Breast milk is produced in the lobules and travels through the ducts to the nipple (Figure 1). The tissue around the lo...

Texture descriptions gray level co-occurrence matrix and fractal dimension and so on [5, 12,13,14]. Pohlman et al. [15] proposed a method to transform 2D contour of breast mass to 1D signature. The signature of a contour is obtained by a function of radial distance from the centroid ...
These images can be used to assess internal anatomy including the target location and spacing between breast tissue and the heart. The ETD stereoscopic imaging however provides faster image capture and a lower imaging dose [15, 17, 18]. When correlating the patient external surface obtained by ...
The anatomical structures are designed based on previously published descriptions of internal breast anatomy. Several phantom iterations were performed to tune simulated breast phantom x-ray images visually to real patient images. X-ray image simulation was performed using a polygonal projector. Visual ...

Gross anatomy of the lactating breast Standard descriptions of the human mammary gland are based on Cooper's dissections of the breasts of women who died during lactation (Figure 1) [9]. Recently Ramsay and colleagues re-investigated the anatomy of the lactat- ing breast using high-resolution...
The peer supporters’ training was accredited by La Leche League and comprised 10 sessions of 2.5 hours each initially, with extra Safeguarding and Lone Working sessions added later. It covered anatomy and physiology, babies’ needs, positioning and attachment, motivational interviewing and general comm...
descriptions, a canonical human anatomy represents a human phenotype as the organism composed of parts such as legs, arms, organs, cells etc. However, phenotypic features highly vary among individuals, and which particular features will be selected to classify individuals depends on classificatory aims...
In the AI diagnosis of breast cancer, instead of ultrasound images from non-standard acquisition process, the Breast Image Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) reports are widely accepted as the input data since it can give standardized descriptions for the breast ultrasound samples. The BI-RADS ...
