Mammography is the most effective method for the early diagnosis of breast cancer diseases. As mammographic images contain low signal to noise ratio and low contrast, it becomes too difficult for radiologists to analyze mammogram. To deal with the above stated problems, it is very important to enhance the mammographic images using image processing methods. This paper introduces a new image enha...

Background and purpose:The risk of developing breast cancer during the liftime of females is 12.5% (about 1 in 8). Ïn addition hormone replacement therapy is part of the preventive measure in women at their menopausal period. Studies have revealed that screening mammography changes with age, mammographyic density and family history of breast cancer. This study was designed to evaluate the bre...

سرطان سینه رایج ترین سرطان در میان زنان و پس از سرطان پوست دومین سرطان رایج در دنیا می باشد. در سال 2009 تقریبا حدود 40610 مرد و زن در اثر ابتلا به این سرطان در ایالات متحده امریکا جان خود را از دست داده اند. لذا تشخیص زودهنگام این سرطان به منظور درمان دارای اهمیت ویژه ای می باشد. به منظور تشخیص سرطان سینه روش های مختلفی از جمله ماموگرافی، اولتراسونوگرافی، تصویربرداری تشدید مغناطیسی mri و مقطع ...

رشد نمایی تولید تصاویر، نیاز به تولید ابزارهای نو برای مدیریت، بازیابی و نمایش دادن آنها را برای کاربردهای مختلف ایجاب می کند. متدهای جست وجوی مبتنی بر متن که به طور گسترده ای به کار می روند، به خوبی جواب گوی مقاصد بازیابی نیستند بلکه تحقق این خواسته، متدهای دسترسی ای را می طلبد که پرس وجوهایی فراتر از پرس وجوهای مبتنی بر متن ساده یا تقاضاهایی فراتر از تطابق دقیق فیلدهای پایگاه داده را فراهم کن...

In this study MCNP-4C code is used to simulate the least shielding requirements for a mammography room. In order to simulate the X-ray tube, a molybdenum target is irradiated by 28 keV electrons. Then, a molybdenum filter with a thickness of 30 micrometers was used to remove the low-energy parts of X-ray spectrum. Finally the dosimetry evaluations were conducted after designing the lead shield ...

Background and Objectives: Breast cancer accounts for almost 30% of all cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. The World Health Organization introduces two main measures to prevent breast cancer including relevant education and mammography as the fastest way of diagnosis before the appearance of disease symptoms.This study aimed systematic review to evaluate educatio...

Background & Aim: In mammography absorbed dose is insignificant. Biologically, in normal people, the phenomenon of hypersensitivity to low doses occurs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the synergistic of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) in the polymer substrate of Poly Dimethyl Siloxane (PDMS) in common energy in mammography. Materials & Methods: Cerium oxide nanoparticles an...

  Objectives: The role of mammography in early detection of b reast cancer is evident and persuasion to do that is very important in health sector. Majority of the interventions are based on education and informing and there has been less attention to making mammography cost beneficent. This study aimed at assessing the effect of a social marketing-based intervention to persuade to do mammograp...

Background and Objective: Given the high incidence of breast cancer in Iranian women and their lack of interest in performing screening mammography, determining the most important predicting structures of mammography behavior can provide the possibility of promoting interventions for this behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the effective structures of the theory of planned beha...

  Background and Aim: Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy and major cause of death in women worldwide. Mammography is considered the most exact means to detect breast cancer in the earlier stage, which can reduce mortality of the disease. The current study aimed at evaluating the effects of an education program using the Theory of Planned Behavior on promoting mammography performan...
