Some folks may wonder if men have breasts, and the truth is that all men have breasts! There is breast tissue behind the nipples of a male's chest, and as your questions indicate, men can get breast cancer. While diagnoses and treatment (more on these later) for breast cancer is similar for males and females, there is a big difference in prevalence. Breast cancer occurs quite infrequently in me...

The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of age, sex, and postmortem carcass aging duration on parts yield from broiler chickens. Two hundred twenty-four mixed-sex broilers were reared under commercial-like conditions for various periods between 37 and 51 d, slaughtered, packed in ice, and then aged for 0, 2, 4, or 6 h. Mean percentage yield of thighs, drumsticks, forequarters, wings...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to preliminarily estimate patient-specific organ doses in chest CT examinations for Chinese adults, and investigate the effect patient size on doses. Methods: By considering body-size body-build effects taking mid-chest water equivalent diameter (WED) as a indicator, scan images 18 adults were acquired multi-detector generate regional voxel models. For eac...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To study the implications of breast density on mammographic screening performance. DESIGN Screening outcomes of women with dense breast patterns were compared with those of women with lucent breast patterns (dense > 25% densities, lucent < or = 25% densities); the women were screened in different periods (before/after improvement of the mammographic technique in 1982). SETTI...

Introduction Contrast enhanced MR mammography is a highly sensitive method in breast cancer detection. Tracking the inflow and washout of contrast agents is used to classify suspect tissue as malign or benign. Segmenting the breasts is needed in order to: • quantify the tissue in fat and parenchyma, • make local elastic motion correction [1] faster and more robust by restricting the registratio...

History: Colleen, a 34 year old white female, presented for treatment of severe breast pain, known as mastalgia, of five years duration. The pain was cyclical (menstrually related), however, she had some tenderness throughout the entire month. Colleen described multiple lumps in each breast, and about two years prior had a large lump drained. It was at that time that her gynecologist termed her...
