    Sammanfattning : Cancer har kommit att bli en av de största folksjukdomarna i den industrialiserade västvärlden och enbart i Sverige insjuknar över 55 000 personer varje år. Det faktum att var tredje person kommer att drabbas av en cancersjukdom någon gång under sin livstid innebär, förutom ett stort mänskligt lidande, att samhället står inför stora folkhälsopolitiska utmaningar att nå medborgarna med sina hälsofrämjande och hälsoförebyggande insatser.

    Sammanfattning : Background The debate regarding the lower age limit for mammography service screening is old and lively; a product in part of the lower breast cancer risk in younger ages as well as the limited data available for studies of the younger age group. Recently the idea of inviting only high risk groups has gained momentum, however high risk might not be equivalent to greater benefit from screening. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Measurement of Tumor Extent and Effects of Breast Compression in Digital Mammography and Breast Tomosynthesis

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in the western countries. Today x-ray digital mammography (DM) of the breast is commonly used for early detection of breast cancer. However, the sensitivity of mammography is limited, mainly due to the fact that a 3D volume is projected down to a 2D image. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Mammography refers to the X-ray examination of the human breast, and is considered the single most important diagnostic tool in the early detection of breast cancer, which is by far the most common cancer among women. There is good evidence from clinical trials, that mammographic screening can reduce the breast cancer mortality with about 30%. LÄS MER
