The Role Of Tissue Sound Speed As A Surrogate Marker Of Breast Density
<p>Breast density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk as women with the densest breasts have a three- to five-fold increase in risk compared to women with the least dense breasts. Breast density is currently measured by using mammography, the current gold standard for breast …

Mammographic breast density as a mediator and surrogate marker for breast cancer risk
Women with the highest mammographic density have a four to six-fold increased risk of breast cancer when compared to the ones with the least dense breasts. Mammographic breast density has also been associated with a wide array of factors related to the risk of breast cancer including age, …

EXAMINING BACKGROUND PARENCHYMAL ENHANCEMENT AS A NOVEL BIOMARKER FOR BREAST CANCER RISK IN BLACK WOMEN
Although breast cancer mortality rates have declined over recent decades, it remains the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. Stark racial disparities persist, with Black women more likely than White women to be diagnosed at later stages and with more aggressive …

The Influence of Diet on Human Breast Parenchymal Densities
Breast cancer is a major public health problem and a leading cause of cancer-related death among American women. Environmental factors, which include diet and nutrition, have been shown to contribute to the increased rates of cancer of the breast as well as other organ systems. The present project …

Missed Breast Cancer Risk Factors and Clinicopathologic Features: A Six-Year Analysis of Data from a Single Institution
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, but mortality has been consistently decreasing due to the introduction of screening mammography and continual innovations in treatment [1,13,15]. However, cancers missed on screening and diagnostic imaging studies …

Development and Validation of Mechatronic Systems for Image-Guided Needle Interventions and Point-of-Care Breast Cancer Screening with Ultrasound (2D and 3D) and Positron Emission Mammography
The successful intervention of breast cancer relies on effective early detection and definitive diagnosis. While conventional screening mammography has substantially reduced breast cancer-related mortalities, substantial challenges persist in women with dense breasts. Additionally, complex …

Perceptually Relevant Measurements in Tomosynthesis Imaging
… relevant to mammography like radiation dose, breast density and thickness, pixel size, arc span and number of projections in the case of digital breast tomosynthesis (aka 3D mammography) can alter the cancer screening diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to find which configuration is best so …

Intra-operative Assessment of Breast Tumor Margins Using Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy
<p>Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death every year in the United States for women. Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is one treatment option for these patients where achieving tumor-free surgical margins is desired to avoid local recurrence [1, 2]. Unfortunately, as many as 17.7-72% of …
