Monte Carlo simulations of digital images of the contrast detail phantom and the ACR phantom are presented for two different x-ray digital mammography modalities: a synchrotron mammography system and a next-generation scanning slot clinical system. A combination of variance reduction methods made it po...

The Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM) is an invaluable resource for digital mammography research. However, there are two particular shortcomings that can pose a significant barrier to many of those who may want to use the resource: 1) the actual mammographic image data is encoded...

Full text At the present time there are two full-field digital mammography units available to the UK market: 1) GE Senographe 2000D; 2) Trex Medical Corporation Digital Mammography System The Senographe 2000D uses a caesium iodide/amorphous silicon flat panel detector and provides a field size ...
Mammography provides better visualization of features such as microcalcifications, but does not support real-time imaging. A prototype device combining the advantages of digital SM and 3D-US with computer-aided needle guidance was developed at our centre. The objective of this work was to determine...

Two-dimensional digital mammography or 2D Mammography remains the current standard of care. It is an excellent screening and detection exam. Instead of imaging the breast tissue in ‘layers’ as in 3D Mammography, a single two-dimensional image is taken. Although this is an excellent study, it...
