TLDR
It is suggested that mammography with synchrotron radiation can be used to clarify cases of questionable or suspicious breast abnormalities identified at DM and ultrasonography.Abstract:
Mammography with synchrotron radiation facilitates the potential for increased ability to diagnose true-negative imaging findings.read more

High-resolution, low-dose phase contrast X-ray tomography for 3D diagnosis of human breast cancers
Yunzhe Zhao,Emmanuel Brun,Emmanuel Brun,Paola Coan,Zhifeng Huang,A Sztrókay,Paul C. Diemoz,Susanne Liebhardt,Alberto Mittone,Sergei Gasilov,Jianwei Miao,Alberto Bravin +11 more
TL;DR: This work imaged a human breast in three dimensions and identified a malignant cancer with a pixel size of 92 μm and a radiation dose less than that of dual-view mammography, demonstrating that high-resolution 3D diagnostic imaging of human breast cancers can, in principle, be performed at clinical compatible doses.

TL;DR: The first tomographic EI XPCi images acquired with a conventional x-ray source at dose levels below that used for preclinical small animal imaging are presented, demonstrating that phase based imaging methods can provide superior results compared to attenuated modalities for weakly attenuating samples also in 3D.

Wachter,Thomas Weber,Evelyn Wenkel,Andrea Zang +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a distribution of micrometer-sized calcifications in the human breast which are not visible in clinical x-ray mammography at diagnostic dose levels can produce a significant dark-field signal in a grating-based xray phase-contrast imaging setup with a tungsten anode xray tube operated at 40 kVp.

X-ray phase-contrast imaging
TL;DR: X-ray imaging is a standard tool for the non-destructive inspection of the internal structure of samples and finds application in a vast diversity of fields: medicine, biology, many engineering disciplines, palaeontology and earth sciences as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The overall diagnostic accuracy of digital and film mammography as a means of screening for breast cancer is similar, but digital mammography is more accurate in women under the age of 50 years, women with radiographically dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.

Phase-contrast imaging using polychromatic hard X-rays
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified scheme for phase-contrast imaging based on an X-ray source having high spatial (but essentially no chromatic) coherence is presented. But the method is not suitable for large areas of irradiation, and it can operate with a lower absorbed dose than traditional Xray imaging techniques, and should find broad application in clinical, biological and industrial settings.

On the possibilities of x-ray phase contrast microimaging by coherent high-energy synchrotron radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, a straightforward experimental setup for phase contrast imaging is proposed and used to record holographic images from organic samples of 10-100 pm at energy lo-50 keV with the contrast up to 50%-100%.

TL;DR: Diffraction enhanced imaging is a new x-ray radiographic imaging modality using monochromatic x-rays from a synchrotron which produces images of thick absorbing objects that are almost completely free of scatter.
