nu:view Breast CT Summary of relevant scientific publications on the nu:view breast CT system IMAGE QUALITY / APPLICABILITY “Spiral Breast CT: Going Further with Photon Counting” Authors: M. Wetzl, S. Ohlmeyer, and E. Wenkel. Published in: DI Europe Spring 2023 (2023). Link: https://issuu.com/fido7777/docs/dieurope_spring_2023/24 Internal reference: Publication Wet23a Summary: This article from the Radiology Institute of the University Hospital Erlangen presents performance characteristics and initial user experiences of the nu:view breast CT. Results in breast diagnostics and clinical indications are also discussed. At a comparable dose to mammography, breast CT allows simultaneous visualization of lesions and microcalcifications. The system has the potential to become a screening modality, especially due to the high level of acceptance among patients. “Dedicated breast computed-tomography in women with a personal history of breast cancer: A proof-of-concept study” Authors: E. Formaz, C. Schmidt, N. Berger, A. L. Schönenberger, J. Wieler, T. Frauenfelder, A. Boss, and M. Marcon. Published in: European Journal of Radiology 158 (2023), p. 110632. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2022.110632 Link: https://www.ejradiology.com/article/S0720-048X(22)00482-X/fulltext Internal reference: Publication For23 Summary: In this study, the image quality of breast CT examinations of patients with personal history of breast cancer (PHBC) was evaluated. Confidence for the overall interpretation with breast CT was equal or superior to mammography in 98.4% of all cases for reader 1 and in 90.6% for reader 2 (p <.001). Confidence for scar evaluation with breast CT was equal or superior to mammography in all cases for reader 1 and in 91.9 % for readers 2 (p <.001). Breast CT provides images with a high image quality Breast CT in patients with PHBC offers a diagnostic certainty equal to or better than that of mammography.

nu:view Breast CT summary of publications questionnaire regarding “Overall patient comfort” and “Pain” on a 5-point Likert Scale. On the same Likert Scale, experienced radiologic technicians rated the workflow of the SBCT regarding patients’ “Mobility”, ease of patient “Positioning”, patients’ adherence to the examination (“Compliance”) and expected image quality. Visibility of fibroglandular tissue in SBCT was independently rated by two breast radiologists on a 10-point Likert Scale. Patients reported significantly lower pain during SBCT (4.73 ± 0.57) compared to DM (4.09 ± 0.90; P < 0.01). This...
