With the construction and operational launch of third‐generation synchrotron radiation
sources, X‐ray molecular probe technology is actively explored and developed, playing an …

Breast computed tomography (BCT) is an emerging application of X-ray tomography in
radiological practice. A few clinical prototypes are under evaluation in hospitals and new …

Objective. Differentiation of breast tissues is challenging in X-ray imaging because tissues
might share similar or even the same linear attenuation coefficients μ. Spectral computed …

A quantitative characterization of the soft tissues composing the human breast is achieved
by means of a monochromatic CT phase-contrast imaging system, through accurate …

A program devoted to performing the first in vivo synchrotron radiation (SR) breast computed
tomography (BCT) is ongoing at the Elettra facility. Using the high spatial coherence of SR …

Abstract Purpose The SYRMA‐3D collaboration is setting up a breast computed tomography
(bCT) clinical program at the Elettra synchrotron radiation facility in Trieste, Italy. Unlike the …

X-ray imaging is a corner stone of breast cancer diagnosis. By exploiting the phase shift of X-
rays rather than their attenuation, phase-contrast tomography has the potential to …

Objective. To introduce the optimization of a customized GPU-based simultaneous algebraic
reconstruction technique (cSART) in the field of phase-contrast breast computed …

This research aimed to evaluate the effects of the X-ray current tube on the uniformity value
of CT image noise. This research used the CT images of Siemens head water phantom. The …

In this work, we applied the singular value decomposition (SVD) method to a set of
monochromatic images to extract the dominant physical contributions to image formation …
