| Abstract | A phantom model was used to study the effect of breast compression on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a dedicated high-resolution gamma camera (Single Photon Emission Mammography, or 'SPEM') and a conventional camera as typically employed in prone scintimammography. The phantom was designed to simulate the effects of lesion size and of scatter from nearby torso activity. The phantom studies showed that lesions SNR was higher with the SPEM camera than with the conventional camera, and that SNR was always improved with compression for both cameras. Since the stage of breast cancer diagnosis affects patient prognosis, it is important to optimize breast examinations for small (i.e. Tla and Tlb) lesions. For one cm size lesions (clinical stage Tlc). SNR was maximized when compression was less than 12 cm, and little additional benefit was derived from further compression. For subcentimeter (clinical stage Tlb) lesions. SNR was maximized when compression was less than 6 cm. These data are consistent with a short clinical study in which detection sensitivity for small cancers was improved with the SPEM camera as compared to a conventional gamma camera. It is concluded that, in order to image early breast cancers (stage Tlb), it is important to apply breast compression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
