چکیده

abstract background: coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. as breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small anglex-ray scattering (saxs) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues.small angle x-ray scattering (to angles less than 10°) is predominantly coherent.materials and methods: primary collimator, sample holder, secondary collimator and hp ge detector was used. the bestconstructive interference was found to be at 6.5at several angles of 4, 5, 6, 6.5 and 7.3 degrees. the total number of 99 breast tissue samples,including normal and tumor were studied at the 6.5transfer was obtained for each sample.the energy dispersive method with a set up including x-ray tube,° after doing experiments on adipose breast tissue°. the corrected intensity versus momentumresults: adipose tissue and mixed tissue (adipose & fibroglandular) from tumor in peak positions (eachcoherent scattering spectrum has a peak that its position is determined by momentum transfer).furthermore adipose tissue has shown significantly higher peaks than other breast tissues. benignand malignant breast tissues were differentiated by both peak positions and peak heights (eachpeak has a height in coherent scattering spectrum). preservation of samples nitrogen tank had noeffects on molecular structure of the breast tissue.adipose tissue shows a sharp peak in low momentum transfer region. it is easy to separateconclusion: between normal, benign and malignant breast tissues. by energy dispersive small angle x-ray scattering, it is possible to differentiateiran. j. radiat. res., 2005 2 (4): 205-210

Application of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) for Differentiation between Normal and Cancerous Breast Tissue

INTRODUCTION Small angle, between 3 degrees and 10 degrees, X ray scattering is predominantly coherent giving rise to diffraction effects that can be observed as constructive and destructive interferences. These interferences carry information about the molecular structure of the tissue and hence can be used to identify changes that occur due to cancer. METHOD In this study an energy dispersi...

Acquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods

Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...

BCL::SAXS: GPU accelerated Debye method for computation of small angle X-ray scattering profiles.

Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is an experimental technique used for structural characterization of macromolecules in solution. Here, we introduce BCL::SAXS--an algorithm designed to replicate SAXS profiles from rigid protein models at different levels of detail. We first show our derivation of BCL::SAXS and compare our results with the experimental scattering profile of hen egg white lyso...

A practical guide to small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of flexible and intrinsically disordered proteins.

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a biophysical method to study the overall shape and structural transitions of biological macromolecules in solution. SAXS provides low resolution information on the shape, conformation and assembly state of proteins, nucleic acids and various macromolecular complexes. The technique also offers powerful means for the quantitative analysis of flexible system...
