Article Abstract

Contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) is a diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection. Artefacts are observed in about 10% of CEDM examinations. Understanding CEDM artefacts is important to prevent diagnostic misinterpretation. In this article, we have described the artefacts that we have commonly encountered in clinical practice; we hope to ease the recognition and help troubleshoot solutions to prevent or minimise them.

Purpose: To develop and validate a deep learning-based model for automated evaluation of mammography phantom images, with the goal of improving inter-radiologist agreement and enhancing the efficiency of quality control within South Korea's national accreditation system.

Materials And Methods: A total of 5,917 mammography phantom images were collected from the Korea Institute for Accreditation of Medical Imaging (KIAMI). After preprocessing, 5,813 images (98.

Objective: Accurate segmentation of breast lesions, especially small ones, remains challenging in digital mammography due to complex anatomical structures and low-contrast boundaries. This study proposes DVF-YOLO-Seg, a two-stage segmentation framework designed to improve feature extraction and enhance small-lesion detection performance in mammographic images.

Methods: The proposed method integrates an enhanced YOLOv10-based detection module with a segmentation stage based on the Visual Reference Prompt Segment Anything Model (VRP-SAM).

We report a rare case of breast and axillary metastases in a 75-year-old man diagnosed with prostate carcinoma. Initially, the patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Prostate cancer was confirmed by biopsy and treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and radiotherapy.

Purpose: We aimed to develop an AI-based system to score the positioning in mammography (MG), with the goal of establishing a foundation for future technical support.

Methods: Using 800 mediolateral oblique (MLO) images, we developed an AI model (Mask Generation Model) for automatic extraction of three regions: the pectoralis major muscle, the mammary gland region, and the nipple. Using this model, we extracted three regions from 1544 MLO images and generated mask images.
