Researchers from University of Massachusetts publish new studies and findings in the area of breast cancer screening

Researchers detail in "Evaluating the impact of X-ray spectral shape on image quality in flat-panel CT breast imaging," new data in breast cancer screening. According to recent research from the United States, "In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in exploring the feasibility of dedicated computed tomography (CT) breast imaging using a flat-panel digital detector in a truncated cone-beam imaging geometry. Preliminary results are promising and it appears as if three-dimensional tomographic imaging of the breast has great potential for reducing the masking effect of superimposed parenchymal structure typically observed with conventional mammography."
