Time-Dependent Diffusion MRI in Cancer: Tissue Modeling and Applications

In diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been recognized as a useful and sensitive surrogate for cell density, paving the way for non-invasive tumor staging, and characterization of treatment efficacy in cancer. How ...

Extra short incubation microfluidic assisted – fluorescence in situ hybridization (ESIMA-FISH)

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Huu Tuan Nguyen, Estelle Annick Cuttaz, Laurène Nathalie Dupont

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful technique for evaluating the HER2 gene status in breast cancer specimen (1). However, most of FISH assays currently used in clinical laboratories are expensive and require long experimental time, up t ...

Radiologic evaluation of lumps in the male breast

Mats Julius Stensrud

BackgroundGynecomastia has a typical appearance on mammography, and occurs frequently in men. However, imaging is often performed on men with breast lumps to exclude breast cancer, which only comprises 1% of male breast masses.PurposeTo assess whether ultr ...

Progesterone and Overlooked Endocrine Pathways in Breast Cancer Pathogenesis

Cathrin Brisken, Kathryn Hess Bellwald

Worldwide, breast cancer incidence has been increasing for decades. Exposure to reproductive hormones, as occurs with recurrent menstrual cycles, affects breast cancer risk, and can promote disease progression. Exogenous hormones and endocrine disruptors h ...

Quantitative Comparison of Commercial CCD and Custom-Designed CMOS Camera for Biological Applications

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, René Beuchat, Yusuf Leblebici, Gözen Köklü, Julien Michel Ghaye

In biological applications and systems where even the smallest details have a meaning, CCD cameras are mostly preferred and they hold most of the market share despite their high costs. In this paper, we propose a custom-designed CMOS camera to compete with ...

Analysis of familial risk for prostate, colon and female breast cancer in Sweden

Paul Refinetti

Using the Swedish Familial Cancer Database, organized and studied by the Hemminki group since 1997, the hypotheses that breast, prostate and colorectal cancers were affected by familial risks in Sweden (1958-2008) are tested. The null hypotheses were rejec ...

Breast texture synthesis and estimation of the role of the anatomy and tumor shape in the radiological detection process

Cyril Castella

Breast cancer is the most common, and the number one cause of death by cancer among women. However, when it is sufficiently early detected, heavy treatments can be avoided, and morbidity and mortality can be reduced. This is the reason why randomized clini ...

Mass detection on mammograms: influence of signal shape uncertainty on human and model observers

François Bochud, Cyril Castella

We studied the influence of signal variability on human and model observers for detection tasks with realistic simulated masses superimposed on real patient mammographic backgrounds and synthesized mammographic backgrounds (clustered lumpy backgrounds, CLB ...

Numerical Simulation Of Temperature Elevation In Soft Tissue By High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Imbo Sim

In focused ultrasound surgery, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can be used to destroy pathological tissue deep inside the body without any damage to the surrounding normal tissue. This noninvasive technique has been used to treat malignant tumors ...

Persisting atypical and cystic forms of Borrelia burgdorferi and local inflammation in Lyme neuroborreliosis

Sandor Kasas

Background: The long latent stage seen in syphilis, followed by chronic central nervous system infection and inflammation, can be explained by the persistence of atypical cystic and granular forms of Treponema pallidum. We investigated whether a similar si ...
