چکیده
Breast imaging in the UK is currently undergoing a major change, with the widespread implementation of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) equipment. This article looks at some of the advanced imaging techniques that have become possible following the development of FFDM units. These techniques may prove to be useful additions to standard mammography for some groups of women.

Mammographic findings in different breast cancer subtypes (luminal, Her2 positive, triple negative)
Background: Prognosis and management of breast cancer are defined by different variables including histological type, grading, clinical stage, Her2+, estrogen and progesterone receptor conditions. Generally, mammography is one of the most important imaging which is done in breast cancer patients. The aim of this research was to evaluate different mammographic patterns in different breast cancer...
متن کاملبهسازی تصاویر ماموگرافی با استفاده از تبدیل موجک و فیلتر همومورفیک
Mammography is the most effective method for the early diagnosis of breast cancer diseases. As mammographic images contain low signal to noise ratio and low contrast, it becomes too difficult for radiologists to analyze mammogram. To deal with the above stated problems, it is very important to enhance the mammographic images using image processing methods. This paper introduces a new image enha...
متن کاملBreast magnetic resonance imaging as a problem-solving modality in mammographic BI-RADS 3 lesions
The probability of a mammographic Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 3 lesion being cancer is considered to be less than 2%. Therefore, the work-up of a mammographic BI-RADS 3 lesion should be biopsy or follow-up mammography after 6 months. However, most patients referred for biopsy have benign disease. Although the negative predictive value (NPV) of magnetic resonance imaging (...
متن کاملUsefulness of a Small-Field Digital Mammographic Imaging System Using Parabolic Polycapillary Optics as a Diagnostic Imaging Tool: a Preliminary Study
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy for spatial resolution and radiation dose of a small-field digital mammographic imaging system using parabolic polycapillary optics. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a small-field digital mammographic imaging system composed of a CCD (charge coupled device) detector and an X-ray source coupled with parabolic polycapillary optics. The spatial resolution and...
متن کاملMammographic image segmentation and risk classification based on mammographic parenchymal patterns and geometric moments
Mammographic risk assessment is becoming increasingly important in decision making in screening mammography and computer aided diagnosis systems. Strong evidence shows that characteristic patterns of breast tissue as seen in mammography, referred to as mammographic parenchymal patterns, provide crucial information about breast cancer risk. Quantitative evaluation of the characteristic mixture o...
