An introduction to contrast enhanced spectral mammography
Contrast enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is a new technology, gaining acceptance throughout Europe and the USA, but only recently introduced to the UK. GE Healthcare is currently the only UK vendor of CESM, using the brand name Senobright. In this article, we will explore the theory behind the technology and the practicalities of performing the test. A brief literature overview is provided...
متن کاملDual-energy contrast-enhanced mammography.
The degree of vascularization in breast lesions is related to their malignancy. For this reason, functional diagnostic imaging techniques have become important in recent years. Dual-energy contrast-enhanced mammography is a new, apparently promising technique in breast cancer that provides information about the degree of vascularization of the lesion in addition to the morphological information...
متن کاملImage Quality in Digital Mammography
The substitution of digital representations for standard film/screen mammography analog images provides access to methods for digital storage and transmission and enables the use of a variety of digital image processing techniques, including enhancement and computer assisted detection and classification of abnormalities. Lossy image compression can further improve the efficiency of transmission...
متن کاملDigital Mammography: From Physical Performance Evaluation To Image Quality Analysis
Since the early 1990s digital X-ray detectors have been used extensively for medical imaging applications, such as Mammography, General Radiography, Computed Tomography, Tomosynthesis, Fluoroscopy, etc. The quality of a radiograph needs to be adequate to provide the required information for a given task. The primary physical parameters that affect image quality are spatial resolution, noise, an...
متن کاملComparison of Image Quality Criteria between Digital Storage Phosphor Plate in Mammography and Full-Field Digital Mammography in the Detection of Breast Cancer.
BACKGROUND Digital mammography is slowly replacing screen film mammography. In digital mammography, 2 methods are available in acquiring images: digital storage phosphor plate and full-field digital mammography. The aim of this study was to compare the image quality acquired from the 2 methods of digital mammography in the detection of breast cancer. METHODS The study took place at the Nation...
