Imaging for breast cancer comprises multiple options in terms of modalities and protocols that have to be applied in the clinical context by radiologists, referring GPs and medical imaging technicians across a broad patient population. We will discuss the roles of modalities such as mammography (standard 2D and 3D/ DBT), breast ultrasound as well as the suite of interventional options including...

My first encounter with Roger was quite awkward and memorable: I tried engaging him in conversation, but he was reserved, shy, and very eager to get back to his work. I was outgoing, loud, and totally oblivious to Roger’s body language—visibly screaming, ‘‘Please le...

Lecture 22 — April 29

Up until now, we have mainly studied how to decrease the query time, and the preprocessing time of our data structures. In this lecture, we will focus on maintaining the data as compactly as possible. Our goal will be to get as close the information theoretic optimum as possible. We will refer to this optimum as OPT. Note that most ”linear space” data structures we have seen are still far from ...
