13. Study on patient dosimetry and image quality in digital mammography
Abstract Introduction Digital mammography present many advantages in comparison to conventional mammography, such as high dynamic range and the post-processing of acquired images. One problem is that protocols may not be optimized, resulting in higher absorbed doses to patients. The objective of this work is to evaluate image quality and to estimate mean gl

14. Breast cancer screening in developing countries
Developing countries have limited healthcare resources and use different strategies to diagnose breast cancer. Most of the population depends on the public healthcare system, which affects the diagnosis of the tumor. Thus, the indicators observed in developed countries cannot be directly compared with those observed in developing countries because the health

15. Realistic deformable 3D numeric phantom for transcutaneous ultrasound
Abstract Introduction Numerical phantoms are important tools to design, calibrate and evaluate several methods in various image-processing applications, such as echocardiography and mammography. We present a framework for creating ultrasound numerical deformable phantoms based on Finite Element Method (FEM), Linear Isomorphism and Field II. The proposed met

17. Texture analysis of masses in digitized mammograms using Gleason and Menhinick diversity indexes
INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world, being more common among women and representing 22% of all new cancer cases every year. The sooner it is diagnosed, the better the chances of a successful treatment are. Mammography is one way to detect non-palpable tumors that cause breast cancer. However, it is known that the

20. Segmenting mammographic microcalcifications using a semi-automatic procedure based on Otsu's method and morphological filters
INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer has the second highest world's incidence rate, according to the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCa). Clinical examination and mammography are the best methods for early diagnosis. Computer-aided detection (CADe) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) systems are developed to improve mammographic diagnosis. Basically, CADx syst

22. 99mTc-thymine scintigraphy may be a promising method in the diagnosis of breast cancer
OBJECTIVE: Mammography has been established as the gold standard for the detection of breast cancer, and imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy and positron emission tomography may be useful to improve its sensitivity and specificity. The objective of this study with breast scintigraphy was to evaluate the uptake

23. Densidade mamária e polimorfismo do gene do receptor estrogênico em mulheres com mamas densas após a menopausa / Breast density and polymorphism of the estrogen receptor gene in women with hight breast density after menopause
Introdução: Polimorfismo é variação genética de ocorrência habitual na população em geral, encontrado em frequência superior a 1%. Há vários polimorfismos conhecidos no gene do receptor estrogênico alfa, alguns dos quais podem modificar a função do receptor e a ação dos estrogênios. Associação de polimorfismos no gene do receptor estrogê

24. IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE UM SISTEMA DE TELEDIAGNÓSTICO PARA CLASSIFICAÇÃO DE MASSAS EM IMAGENS MAMOGRÁFICAS USANDO ANÁLISE DE COMPONENTES INDEPENDENTES / IMPLEMENTATION OF A SYSTEM OF TELEDIAGNOSIS FOR CLASSIFICATION OF MASSES IN MAMMOGRAPHIC IMAGES USING INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS
This thesis proposes the modeling and implementation of a telediagnostic system for analysis and detection of lesions in mammographic images based on independent component analysis and support vector machine. The system analyzes images from digital mammography sent over the Internet and provides a diagnostic, indicating the presence of suspicious regions, wh
