Software breast phantoms are important in many applications within the field of breast imaging and mammography. This paper describes an improved method of using a previously employed in-house fractal Perlin noise algorithm to create binary software breast phantoms. The Perlin Noise algorithm creates smoothly varying structures of a frequency with a set band limit. By combining a range of frequenci

Eye data quality varies greatly with the eyetracking system, the individual characteristics of participants, the recording environment, and the operator. The quality of the signal has important repercussions for which eye movement measures are valid, and what conclusions can be drawn from them. Reading research often has high demands in terms of spatial precision and accuracy. Reliably detecting e

The Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial is a large population based screening trial designed to evaluate the use of one-view breast tomosynthesis, with reduced compression force, as a stand-alone screening modality. Initial results show a substantially increased cancer detection rate compared to mammography and a still-acceptable elevation of the recall and false-positive rates.

Background Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis and clinical protocols are still lacking predictive biomarkers. RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) has emerged as a promising biomarker in several solid cancers, including pancreatic cancer.. High RBM3 expression in human tumors has been associated with good response to chemotherapy, as well as to confer increased chemosensitivity in vitro. The

The prevalence of mental disorders is unequal between population subgroups, and these disorders are associated with unfavourable consequences in social and economic conditions, health and survival.

BackgroundSubstandard and falsified medical products are a public health threat, primarily associated with low- and middle-income countries. Today, the phenomenon also exists in high-income countries. Increased Internet access has opened a global market. Self-diagnosis and self-prescription have boosted the market for unregulated websites with access to falsified medicines.AimTo describe the state
