During puberty and pregnancy, the breast undergoes major restructuring in order to produce a structure that can secrete and eject copious amounts of milk. By analogy to other branched organs such as the lung or the salivary gland, a large increase in surfa ...
Stimulating angiogenesis by gene transfer approaches offers the hope of treating tissue ischemia which is untreatable by currently practiced techniques of vessel grafting and bypass surgery. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast gr ...
Acoustic tomography aims at recovering the unknown parameters that describe a field of interest by studying the physical characteristics of sound propagating through the considered field. The tomographic approach is appealing in that it is non-invasive and ...
We propose a new method for imaging sound speed in breast tissue from measurements obtained by ultrasound tomography (UST) scan- ners. Given the measurements, our algorithm finds a sparse image representation in an overcomplete dictionary that is adapted t ...
INTRODUCTION: About 70% of breast cancers express oestrogen receptor alpha (ESR1/ERalpha) and are oestrogen-dependent for growth. In contrast with the highly proliferative nature of ERalpha-positive tumour cells, ERalpha-positive cells in normal breast tis ...
Photon migration has been investigated experimentally in vitro on human breast tissues, bovine liver, tissue phantoms, and theoretically by Monte Carlo simulations and diffusion theory. The spatial intensity profiles have been measured at the output surfac ...
