An interdisciplinary collaboration 10 years in the making used a materials science approach to 'fingerprint' the calcium mineral deposits known as microcalcifications that reveal pathological ...

Microcalcifications Tiny calcium deposits in the breast tissue represent microcalcifications. These calcifications may suggest areas of increased activity in mammary cells whose uptake of calcium ...

This structure did not contain any internal solid material or microcalcifications. After informed consent, aspiration of the cystic structure was performed.

In interpreting ultrasound images, thyroid cancer is associated with microcalcifications, hypoechogenicity compared with the surrounding thyroid or strap muscles, irregular margins (defined as ...

1567 Background: Clinical guidelines advocate the use of at least 6 cores with vacuum-assisted macrobiopsies in the evaluation of clusters of microcalcifications in the breast. In some centers the ...

If pigeons went to medical school and specialized in pathology or radiology, they’d be pretty good at distinguishing digitized microscope slides and mammograms of normal vs. cancerous breast tissue, a ...

Mammography continues to be the method of choice for the early detection of breast cancer. However, because this technique is not as selective or specific as one would wish, and does not deliver ...
