A team led by Lin et al. developed a deep-learning mammography system. This system is trained to identify microcalcification and focuses on interpreting it. Based on the study's findings, a critical ...

Patients with thoracic aortopathy are at increased risk of catastrophic aortic dissection, carrying with it substantial mortality and morbidity. Although granular medial calcinosis (medial ...

Abstract: Mammography is a widespread imaging technique for the early detection of breast cancer. Microcalcification clusters, visible in X-ray images, are important indicators for the diagnosis. In ...

Abstract: The presence of microcalcification clusters in mammograms contributes evidence for the diagnosis of early stages of breast cancer. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) can be used as a useful tool ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- An interdisciplinary collaboration 10 years in the making used a materials science approach to “fingerprint” the calcium mineral deposits known as microcalcifications that reveal ...

Vascular calcification causes significant morbidity and occurs frequently in diseases of calcium/phosphate imbalance. Radiolabeled sodium fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography has ...

Vascular calcification is a complex biological process that is a hallmark of atherosclerosis. While macrocalcification confers plaque stability, microcalcification is a key feature of high-risk ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are highly lethal diseases without effective clinical predictors and therapeutic targets. Vascular microcalcification, as detected by fluorine-18-sodium fluoride, has ...

Carotid atherosclerotic plaque microcalcification independently associated with recurrent neurovascular events reveals a pilot study published in the International Journal of Stroke.
