Screen-Film Mammography and Soft-Copy Full-Field Digital Mammography: Comparison in the Patients with Microcalcifications
OBJECTIVE We wanted to compare the ability of screen-film mammography (SFM) and soft-copy full-field digital mammography (s-FFDM) on two different monitors to detect and characterize microcalcifications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The images of 40 patients with microcalcifications(three patients had malignant lesion and 37 patients had benign lesion), who underwent both SFM and FFDM at an interval...
متن کاملDetection of clustered microcalcifications in small field digital mammography
The most frequent symptoms of ductal carcinoma recognised by mammography are clusters of microcalcifications. Their detection from mammograms is difficult, especially for glandular breasts. We present a new computer-aided detection system for small field digital mammography in planning of breast biopsy. The system processes the mammograms in several steps. First, we filter the original picture ...
متن کاملFull Field Digital Mammography with Breast Cushions in Screening Subjects
To explore the impact of radiolucent breast cushions on breast pain and image quality of full field digital mammography (FFDM) in screening subjects. The American College of Radiology (ACR) phantom and fifty-four women were enrolled in this study. Use of cushions reduced pain (p < 0.001). The imaging quality with cushions was inferior to those without cushions in phantom studies (p ≦ 0.01), on ...
متن کاملZooming method (x 2.0) of digital mammography vs digital magnification view (x 1.8) in full-field digital mammography for the diagnosis of microcalcifications.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the interpretation of microcalcifications assessed on images zoomed (x 2.0) from digital mammograms is at least equivalent to that from digital magnification mammography (x 1.8) with respect to diagnostic accuracy and image quality. Three radiologists with different levels of experience in mammography reviewed each full-field digital mammograph...
متن کاملScreen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ found on stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsy of suspicious microcalcifications without mass: radiological-histological correlation
BACKGROUND Commonly identified on screening mammography breast microcalcifications are the predominant manifestation of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between clinico-radiological features and histological findings in patients with screen-detected DCIS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive 127 patients with pure DCIS found on stereotactic...
