Abstract Background Proper assessment of mammographically detected asymmetries is essential to avoid unnecessary biopsies and missed cancers as they may be a benign or malignant cause. According ACR BIRADS atlas 2013, are classified into asymmetry, focal global developing asymmetry. We aimed assess the diagnostic performance artificial intelligence in compared breast ultrasound well combined ma...

Although the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) passed when analog mammography and film processors were used across the United States, now most health care facilities have full-field digital mammography. This article reviews MQSA requirements including qualifications for personnel, the clinical image evaluation process, and components of a quality control program. In light of technologica...

Mammography screening aims to reduce the number of breast cancer deaths by early detection of the disease, which is one of the leading causes of deaths for middle aged women in the western world. The risk from the x-ray radiation in mammography is relatively low but still a factor in the benefit-risk ratio of screening. The characterization and optimization of a digital mammography system is pr...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

In general, dose evaluation for mammography uses average glandular dose (AGD). In mammography, entrance surface dose (ESD) is high, which is well known, but actual clinical data of ESD are not reported so much. This study investigated AGD and ESD for patients whose doses were estimated from 200 mammography examinations using European Organization for Quality-Assured Breast Screening and Diagnos...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of three image-processing algorithms on diagnostic accuracy of digital mammography in comparison with conventional screen-film mammography. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 201 cases consisting of nonprocessed soft copy versions of the digital mammograms acquired from GE, Fischer, and Trex digital mammography systems (1997-1999) and convention...

We have developed a digital radiography system based on double sided mi-crostrip silicon crystals. The detector is 300 m thick, equipped with 320 channels for each side. The strip pitch is 100 m. The read{out system consists of a VLSI integrated analog circuit with low noise preampliication, pulse shaping, threshold discrimination. The two main issues of this Front End chip are low noise and go...

OBJECTIVE To compare between the American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation phantom and digital mammography accreditation phantom in assessing the image quality in full-field digital mammography (FFDM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In each week throughout the 42-week study, we obtained phantom images using both the ACR accreditation phantom and the digital mammography accreditation phantom, a...

AIM The combination of different imaging modalities through the use of fusion devices promises significant diagnostic improvement for breast pathology. The aim of this study was to evaluate image quality and clinical feasibility of a prototype fusion device (fusion prototype) constructed from a standard tomosynthesis mammography unit and a standard 3D ultrasound probe using a new method of brea...
