New statistical methods were employed to improve the ability to distinguish benign from malignant breast tissue ex vivo in a recent study. The ultimately aim was to improve the intraoperative assessment of positive tumour margins in…

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) methods provide a promising framework that can non-invasively and inexpensively be used to predict or assess the tumour response to cancer treatment. The first step in using the QUS methods is to select a…

Breast cancer investigation is of great significance, and developing tumor detection methodologies is a critical need. However, it is a challenging task for breast ultrasound due to the complicated breast structure and poor quality of the…

Breast lesion localization using tactile imaging is a new and developing direction in medical science. To achieve the goal, proper image reconstruction and image registration can be a valuable asset. In this paper, a new approach of the…

With the rapid advancements in cancer research, the information that is useful for characterizing disease, staging tumors, and creating treatment and survivorship plans has been changing at a pace that creates challenges when physicians try…

The treatment of breast cancer using radiotherapy involves uncertainties regarding breast positioning. As the studies progress, more is known about the expected breast positioning errors, which are taken into account in the Planning Target…

In the last few years, deep learning classifiers have shown promising results in image-based medical diagnosis. However, interpreting the outputs of these models remains a challenge. In cancer diagnosis, interpretability can be achieved by…

Visual to auditory sensory substitution devices convert visual information into sound and can provide valuable assistance for blind people. Recent iterations of these devices rely on depth sensors. Rules for converting depth into sound…

Characterization of breast lesions is an essential prerequisite to detect breast cancer in an early stage. Automatic segmentation makes this categorization method robust by freeing it from subjectivity and human error. Both spectral and…

A biopsy is the only diagnostic procedure for accurate histological confirmation of breast cancer. When sonographic placement is not feasible, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)-guided biopsy is often preferred. The lack of real-time imaging…

Beam quality optimization in mammography traditionally considers detection of a target obscured by quantum noise on a homogenous background. It can be argued that this scheme does not correspond well to the clinical imaging task because…

Perceptualizing tool interactions with deformable structures in surgical procedures remains challenging, as unimodal visualization techniques often fail to capture the complexity of these interactions due to constraints such as occlusion…

We present a fast and reliable algorithm that gives precise location of breast tumours for a partial mastectomy. Our algorithm is fully implemented in the Surface Evolver, which is a general-purpose simulator of physical experiments. By…

Effective preoperative planning requires accurate algorithms for segmenting anatomical structures across diverse datasets, but traditional models struggle with generalization. This study presents a novel machine learning methodology to…

This work demonstrates an application of near field indirect microwave holography for the detection of malignant tissues in the human breast in an effective way. The holograms are recorded by two directive antennas aligned along each…

Screening mammograms are a routine imaging exam performed to detect breast cancer in its early stages to reduce morbidity and mortality attributed to this disease. In order to maximize the efficacy of breast cancer screening programs,…

Breast cancer is the most common cancers and early detection from mammography screening is crucial in improving patient outcomes. Assessing mammographic breast density is clinically important as the denser breasts have higher risk and are…

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Mammographic findings such as microcalcifications and masses, as well as morphologic features of masses in sonographic scans, are the main diagnostic targets for tumor detection.…

Breast cancer is a disease that threatens many women's life, thus, early and accurate detection plays a key role in reducing the mortality rate. Mammography stands as the reference technique for breast cancer screening; nevertheless, many…

In breast surgical planning, accurate registration of MR images across patient positions has the potential to improve the localisation of tumours during breast cancer treatment. While learning-based registration methods have recently become…
