X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography for full breast mastectomy imaging at the Australian Synchrotron

Soft tissues and force fields: advanced 3D synchrotron-based imaging for diagnostics and regenerative medicine

“…Specifically for soft tissues investigation, SR-PhC-microCT has shown promise in various applications, including cancer detection and diagnosis. The method provides high contrast and potentially reduces radiation dose while preserving image quality [19] [20] [21]. In particular, the use of SR-PhC-microCT for diagnostic breast imaging showed potential to provide better tumor detection and characterization than mammography [15] [20].…”

Imaging optimisation process of human lung tissue using synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography in PLS‐II

“…The researchers reported that they were planning to perform clinical trials in association with related healthcare providers. [12][13][14] Refraction based tomographic SR imaging methods called X-ray dark field imaging CT (XDFI-CT) methods have been developed by M. Ando and his colleagues since the mid-1990s at Photon Factory (Tsukuba, Japan). Using a specially designed asymmetrically-cut monochromator and Laue angle analyzer, this technique could provide higher contrast and excellent spatial resolution from human soft tissue specimens without contrast or staining media.…”

“…The PB‐CT breast images from mastectomy specimens showed higher quality than that possible with other conventional medical imaging modalities. The researchers reported that they were planning to perform clinical trials in association with related healthcare providers 12–14 …”
