Medical Imaging Senior Posters
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a malignant, aggressive cancer that can affect men or women. Mammography is very helpful in diagnosing this type of cancer. The only option at this time for treatment for TNBC is cytotoxic chemotherapy. There is research being conducted to obtain more treatment options for patients. This is proving to be difficult because TNBC is negative for all hormone receptors. On a mammogram, this cancer may present as a lobulated mass with or without calcifications. This comes as a surprise because most masses present on a mammogram tend to be spiculated. This proves for an …

Student Research Poster Presentations 2021
Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma (IBC) is a rare type of breast cancer with a high incidence of metastases that makes the breast tender, red, swollen, and sometimes exhibits an orange peel appearance. These type of cancer cells block lymph vessels in the skin of the breast and develops rapidly. Risks factors include sex, lifestyle, age, reproductive factors, race, obesity, and family history. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Approximately 1 in 8 women have a risk of developing breast cancer. The most accurate way to diagnose inflammatory breast carcinoma is via mammography and/or sonography. Mammography/and …
Comparing 2d Vs 3d Mammography In Breast Imaging, Kelsey Little
Comparing 2d Vs 3d Mammography In Breast Imaging, Kelsey Little
Student Research Poster Presentations 2021
This project offers a comparison of 2D digital mammography (DM) and 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to determine if one is more superior than the other in breast imaging. Types of mammography exams, different projections, breast cancer, equipment definitions, advantages, and disadvantages are also discussed. Breast cancer is one of the most common and most treatable types of cancer detected in women. Equipment is frequently evolving to better improve image quality and patient comfort. DM takes a stationary image of the compressed breast at one angle while DBT takes images in slices at multiple angles. This allows for better visualization …
