Abstract:
In order to investigate the role of imaging methods in the evaluation of the male breast we reviewed the mammograms and ultrasonograms (US) performed in 40 men with breast enlargement or pain. The patients, whose breasts were examined by either mammography (n = 7) or US (n = 1) or both (n = 32), ranged in age from 14 to 83 years. The final diagnoses were gynecomastia in 35 patients, lipomas in one, abscess or sequelae to abscess in 2, and normal in 2. In gynecomastia the subareolar density was of varying shape and size or showed a diffuse pattern of heterogeneous density occupying the whole breast on mammography, and a retromammillar hypoechoic focus, a diffuse heterogeneous area, or a combination of these was observed at US. Eleven breasts and one axillary lymph node were examined by US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), which was diagnostic in all cases. Mammography is recommended for the evaluation of the male breast if the differential diagnosis between gynecomastia and fatty enlargement is not clinically evident, and in all cases of unilateral breast symptoms. US is a complementary method to mammography and is also useful to provide guidance for FNAB.

Abstract:
Abstract Background. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of lead shielding on the dose to female breasts in conventional x-ray lumbar spine imaging. The correlation between the body mass index and the dose received by the breast was also investigated. Materials and methods. Breast surface dose was measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). In the first phase measurements of breast dose with and without shielding from lumbar spine imaging in two projections were conducted on an anthropomorphic phantom. In the second stage measurements were performed on 100 female patients, randomly divided into two groups of 50, with breast shielding only used in one group. Results. On average, breast exposure dose in lumbar spine imaging in both projections (anteroposterior (AP) and lateral) was found reduced by approximately 80% (p < 0,001) when shielding with 0.5 mm lead equivalent was used (from 0.45±0.25 mGy to 0.09±0.07 mGy on the right and from 0.26±0.14 mGy to 0.06±0.04 mGy on the left breast). No correlation between the body mass index (BMI) and the breast surface radiation dose was observed. Conclusions. Although during the lumbar spine imaging breasts receive low-dose exposure even when shielding is not used, the dose can be reduced up to 80% by breast shielding with no influence on the image quality.

Abstract:
Purpose: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for response of bone metastases to therapy, new lesions indicate progressive disease. We intended to prove that a new sclerotic lesion on conventional radiography may also be a sign of a positive therapeutic response in a previously undetectable lytic metastasis. Material and Methods: In a previous placebo-controlled clinical trial of clodronate (Ostac) therapy, 139 breast cancer patients with bone metastases underwent both conventional radiography and bone scan every 6 months for 2 years with 99mTc before and during clodronate treatment. WHO criteria were applied for therapy response evaluation. Results: In 24 patients, 52 new sclerotic lesions observed during therapy were selected for re-evaluation of conventional radiographs and bone scans. In 8 of the 24 patients, 17 of 52 new sclerotic lesions (33%) had showed positive uptake on previous bone scans. These lesions were possibly misinterpreted as new when applying WHO criteria. Conclusion: For better assessment of new sclerotic lesions during treatment, more sensitive techniques, e.g. bone scan, are needed as a complement to conventional radiography.

Abstract:
Metastasised breast cancer kills. There is no known cure, there are no known preventative measures, there are no drugs available with proven capacity to abate its effects. Early identification and excision of a malignancy prior to metastasis is the only method currently available for reducing the mortality due to breast disease. Automated analysis of mammograms has been proposed as a tool to aid radiologists detect breast disease earlier and with greater efficiency and success. This thesis addresses some of the major difficulties associated with the automated analysis of mammograms, in particular the difficulties caused by the high-frequency, relatively insignificant curvi-linear structures (CLS) comprising the blood vessels, milk-ducts and fibrous tissues. Previous attempts at automation have been overlooked these structures and the resultant complexity of that oversight has been handled inappropriately. We develop a model-based analysis of the CLS features, from the very anatomy of the breast, through mammography and digitisation to the image intensities. The model immediately dictates an algorithm for extracting a high-level feature description of the CLS features. This high-level feature description allows a systematic treatment of these image features prior to searching for instances of breast disease. We demonstrate a procedure for implementing such prior treatment by 'removing' the CLS features from the images. Furthermore, we develop a model of the expected appearance of mammographic densities in the CLS-removed image, which leads directly to an algorithm for their identification. Unfortunately the model also extracts many regions of the image that are not significant mammographic densities, and this therefore requires a subsequent segmentation stage. Unlike previous attempts which apply neural networks to this task, and therefore incorporate inherent insignificance as a consequence of insufficient data availability describing the significant mammographic densities, we illustrate the application of a new statistical method (novelty analysis) for achieving a statistically significant segmentation of the mammographic densities from the plethora of candidates identified at the previous stage. We demonstrate the ability of the CLS feature description to identify instances of radial-scar in mammograms, and note the suitability of the CLS and density descriptions for assessment of bilateral and temporal asymmetry. Some additional potential applications of these feature descriptions in arenas other than mammogram analysis are also noted.

Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate breast cancer screening according to demographic data, number, and geographical distribution of mammography units, screening coverage, and technology available. Method: This is an ecological study carried out among diagnostic centers with functioning mammography machines. We included all centers offering mammography in 2019. Correlations between the municipal human development index (HDI) and breast screening coverage were evaluated and the age of available equipment was compared between the public (SUS) and the private healthcare sector. Results were compared with a 2008 study. Results: In Goiás, 164 mammography units were operational, with 66 (40%) serving the SUS. Overall, the proportion of women/unit was 7,008/1 aged 40–69 years and 3,949/1 for women aged 50–69 years. Approximately 400,896 scans were performed — a mean of 200 scans/month (5–1,000) or 9 scans/day. Screening coverage was 83.2%, with 17.1% of these scans being performed within the SUS. The HDI correlated moderately but not significantly with screening coverage. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean age of the equipment between the SUS (14.29±7.79 years) and the private sector (15.17±7.67 years). When compared with the 2008 results, there was a decrease in the percentage of conventional units from 75.7% to 6%, an increase in computed radiography systems from 24.3% to 86.7%, and the introduction of digital radiography (7.3%). Conclusions: In 2019, breast-screening coverage in Goiás reached 83.2%, with 17.1% being conducted within the SUS. The geographical distribution of mammography units is heterogeneous and productivity is low. Compared with 2008, availability is increased and the standard of the equipment is improved.

Abstract:
Abstract We present the results of explosive testing of an Inner Pressure Confinement Vessel (IPCV). The IPCV is explosively-loaded high-pressure vessel which is a part of the containment system to facilitate proton imaging of small-scale shock physics experiments at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The detonation of high explosive (HE) drives material to extreme loading conditions, which are imaged using a proton beam and an imaging system. The IPCV needs to satisfy the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 3, Code Case 2564, while allowing for maximum resolution of proton radiography. The IPCV contains an Experimental Physics Package (EPP), fragment mitigation assembly, and radiographic windows. To achieve the optimal imaging resolution, the radiographic windows need to be very thin, located extremely close to the HE, and made of low-attenuating material such as Beryllium. While the IPCV is designed to a relatively small HE amount of 30 g TNT equivalent, the radiographic window is located only a few cm away from the HE, which is unique to this specialized high-pressure vessel. Fragment mitigation is critical to protecting radiographic windows from any fragments to allow the IPCV to maintain the pressure boundary before and after the explosive experiment. This shielding contains two layers: Boron carbide (B4C) facing the HE and Dyneema (cross plied composite layers made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) facing the window. The B4C plate serves to break up and dull fragments while Dyneema catches fragments and prevents them from contacting the radiographic windows. Design development of the fragment mitigation assembly and attachment was informed by several series of explosive tests at LANL. The tests also addressed the sealing function of vessel covers, gas lines, and isolation valves before and after an explosive experiment.
