Simulated breast lesion models, including microcalcification clusters and masses, have
been used in several studies. Realistic lesion models are required for virtual clinical trials to …

Purpose: This study aims to investigate if microcalcification detection varies significantly
when mammographic images are acquired using different image qualities, including …

This paper gives an overview of test procedures developed to assess the performance of full
field digital mammography systems. We make a distinction between tests of the individual …

An experimental method of determining the optimal beam quality for digital mammography
systems was applied to two systems (Fuji Profect and GE Senographe 2000D). The mean …

Screening is the only proven approach to reduce the mortality of breast cancer, but
significant numbers of breast cancers remain undetected even when all quality assurance …

Aluminium is often used as a substitute material for calcifications in phantom measurements
in mammography. Additionally, calcium oxalate, hydroxyapatite and aluminium are used in …

The study purpose was to determine the impact of anti‐scatter grid removal on patient dose,
in full field digital mammography. Dose saving, phantom based, was evaluated with the …

Studies using simulated calcifications can be performed to measure the effect of different
imaging factors on calcification detection in digital mammography. The simulated …

The assessment of the performance of a digital mammography system requires an observer
study with a relatively large number of cases with known truth which is often difficult to …

Screening mammography is one of the most challenging radiological techniques and this is
partly due to the difficulty in detecting microcalcifications (MCs) against an anatomical …
