Measurement of Tumor Extent and Effects of Breast Compression in Digital Mammography and Breast Tomosynthesis
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in the western countries. Today x-ray digital mammography (DM) of the breast is commonly used for early detection of breast cancer. However, the sensitivity of mammography is limited, mainly due to the fact that a 3D volume is …

Synergistic Combination of Microwaves and Acoustic Signals: Towards Improved Breast Imaging
Microwave-based breast imaging techniques offer the convenience of frequently-repeated scans involving no breast compression, non-ionizing radiation, inexpensive scan costs, sensitivity to water content and low-complexity 3D image reconstruction. These benefits are well-suited for its application …

A multimodal breast cancer imaging system using coregistered dynamic diffuse optical tomography and digital breast tomosynthesis
… noninvasive functional imaging method for breast cancer diagnosis and neoadjuvant chemotherapy monitoring. In particular, the multimodal approach of combining DOT with x-ray digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is especially synergistic as DBT prior information can be used to enhance the DOT …
