Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography demonstrates better inter-reader repeatability than digital mammography for screening breast cancer patients

This retrospective study included 326 patients recruited between January 2019 and February 2021. The study protocol was pre-registered on the Open Science Framework platform. Two expert radiologists interpreted the CESM and DM findings. Pathological data are used for radiologically suspicious or malignant-appearing lesions, whereas follow-up was considered the gold standard for benign-appearing lesions and breasts without lesions…

LymphUs: A Multicenter Cervical Lymph Node Ultrasound Image Database

We introduced an open-access multicenter lymph node ultrasound image database (LymphUs) specifically designed to advance research in LN assessment for PTC. Ultrasound imaging was performed on PTC patients at two independent clinical centers using standardized acquisition protocols…

Synthesized Images Database for Image Denoising

Evaluating denoising filters in a real-world situation is hard since information about noises (level, type, distribution, etc.) is unknown. Hence, determining the performance of denoising filters is a challenge. To solve this problem, seven images are synthesized to evaluate the performance of denoising filters…
