How ML Will Disrupt the Future of Clinical Radiology
The use of computer vision in radiology may have advantages for both patients and medical facilities. However, some worry that machine learning (ML) may one day replace doctors because it can outperform them. The desire for increased efficiency and efficacy in clinical care has been the primary motivating reason behind the development of AI in medical imaging. Recent technological developments, ...

Everything we know About AMD and Dark Adaptation
When automated dark adaptometry was first commercialized, many of us had more questions than answers with regard to using this information for detecting AMD and monitoring disease progression. But with more than seven years of practical in-office experience performing dark adaptation testing on thousands of patients, the tables have turned. This technology offers a safety net for ...

CD Genomics Perspective: The Application of RNA-Seq and DNA-Seq in Cancer Research
Clinicians can make better diagnostic and treatment decisions using the data obtained by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Breast cancers, for example, have typically been diagnosed using mammography, physical exam, and histology. Genetics became more significant after the discoveries of oncogenes and other biomarkers. Today, commercially available microarray-based tests enable more ...

Early Detection Saves Lives KBCT Can Help
Despite breast cancer being the second most common cancer for women in the US, progress in the breast imaging space has been stagnant over the last few decades. This is evident in the countless women who are still misdiagnosed – either receiving a false positive or getting diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Why Early Detection is Important According to the National Breast ...

New Breast Imaging Technology: The Koning Difference
Revolutionizing breast cancer detection Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women.1 It is also treatable if detected early enough. While there are various cancer detection modalities available, current breast imaging devices fail to expose as much as 35% of breast cancers and that number increases to ...

Mammography image quality optimisation: a Monte Carlo study
Different irradiation configurations for typical mammographic facilities were evaluated in order to establish optimal irradiation parameters for improving X-ray image quality. The whole X-ray imaging process was suitably studied by means of Monte Carlo techniques. Relevant parameters were introduced to the program in order to evaluate their effect on image quality. Breast absorbed doses were ...

Vision-based 3D surface motion capture for the DIET breast cancer screening system
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the world today. The search for effective treatment and screening methods is a highly active area of research. The Digital Image-based Elasto-Tomography (DIET) project is a new breast cancer screening system under development, where surface motion from the mechanically actuated breast is measured in 3D, and used as input to an inverse ...

Development of a System for the Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
We are now developing a system which allows the visualization of the structure and tissue associated with breast cancer, which is difficult to achieve with conventional mammography, by utilizing X-ray refraction. This system is expected to achieve an approximately 1000-fold higher contrast and high spatial resolution at low dose; compared to techniques by use of X-ray absorption. Monochromatic ...

Is there reliable experimental evidence for different dicentric yields in human lymphocytes produced by mammography X-rays free-in-air and within a phantom?
We examined the production of dicentrics in human lymphocytes irradiated with 29 kV X-rays to a depth of 13.5 mm in a PMMA phantom. For these irradiation conditions, which are appropriate for the diagnostic application of mammography X-rays, a coefficient of (5.88±0.66)×10–2 Gy–1 of the linear quadratic dose–response relationship was determined. This value does not differ significantly from the ...
