Sommario/riassunto

The use of tomosynthesis in breast imaging is growing rapidly due to



its superior ability to identify and characterize normal findings, benign lesions, and breast cancer, as well as its optimal performance with dense breast tissue. Providing unparalleled coverage of this breakthrough breast imaging modality, Breast Tomosynthesis explains how this new modality can lead to enhanced interpretation and better patient outcomes. This new reference is an indispensable guide for today's practitioner looking to keep abreast of the latest developments with correlative findings, practical interpretation tips, physics, and information on how tomosynthesis differs from conventional 2D FFDM mammography. Over 900 high-quality images offer visual guidance to effectively reading and interpreting this key imaging modality.

Sommario/riassunto

Applied mathematics and symmetry work together as a powerful tool for problem reduction and solving. We are communicating applications in probability theory and statistics (A Test Detecting the Outliers for Continuous Distributions Based on the Cumulative Distribution Function of the Data Being Tested, The Asymmetric Alpha-Power Skew-t Distribution), fractals - geometry and alike (Khovanov Homology of Three-Strand Braid Links, Volume Preserving Maps Between p-Balls, Generation of Julia and Mandelbrot Sets via Fixed Points), supersymmetry - physics, nanostructures -chemistry, taxonomy - biology and alike (A Continuous Coordinate System for the Plane by



Triangular Symmetry, One-Dimensional Optimal System for 2D Rotating Ideal Gas, Minimal Energy Configurations of Finite Molecular Arrays, Noether-Like Operators and First Integrals for Generalized Systems of Lane-Emden Equations), algorithms, programs and software analysis (Algorithm for Neutrosophic Soft Sets in Stochastic Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making Based on Prospect Theory, On a Reduced Cost Higher Order Traub-Steffensen-Like Method for Nonlinear Systems, On a Class of Optimal Fourth Order Multiple Root Solvers without Using Derivatives) to specific subjects (Facility Location Problem Approach for Distributed Drones, Parametric Jensen-Shannon Statistical Complexity and Its Applications on Full-Scale Compartment Fire Data). Diverse topics are thus combined to map out the mathematical core of practical problems.
