Summary

A study performed on 3,504 individual breast microcalcifications (MCs) scanned using high-resolution 3D micro-CT reveals that the surrounding tissue microenvironment provides stronger diagnostic information than the calcified core alone for distinguishing benign from malignant breast lesions. The findings are published in the journal Breast Cancer Research . Where does the diagnostic information associated with breast MCs lie: in the calcium deposits themselves, or in the tissue immediately surrounding them? Researchers from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)-imec and UZ Brussel have addressed this question using high-resolution 3D micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images.
