Purpose: Promoting sustainable diets through sustainable food choices is essential for achieving the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations. Establishing a practical tool that can measure and score sustainable and healthy eating is highly important.
Methods: We established a 30-item questionnaire to evaluate sustainable-dietary consumption.
Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the effect of a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system on radiologists' performance in discriminating malignant and benign masses on mammograms and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) images.
Materials And Methods: Our dataset contained mammograms and 3D US volumes from 67 women (median age, 51; range: 27-86) with 67 biopsy-proven breast masses (32 benign and 35 malignant). A CADx system was designed to automatically delineate the mass boundaries on mammograms and the US volumes, extract features, and merge the extracted features into a multi-modality malignancy score.
Objective: Data regarding health providers' personal lifestyle and the differential effect of a short-term personal lifestyle experience intervention program on health providers are limited.
Methods: We conducted a controlled study aimed at changing personal attitudes toward lifestyle habits among 323 health professionals: 136 (42%) physicians, 140 (43%) dietitians, and 47 (15%) nurses and health promoters. In the intervention group (n = 209) individuals participated in a 2-d intensive self-experience workshop in an isolated location emphasizing healthy lifestyle and behavior-modifying techniques.
Rationale And Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the experience and desire for training breast imagers in discussing "bad news" with their patients. No such information has been previously reported.
Materials And Methods: Following University of Michigan (UM) institutional review board approval and approval from the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI), questionnaires were mailed to current UM breast imaging faculty members, fellows, and residents and to SBI fellows.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate effects of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) involving an interval change classifier (which uses interval change information extracted from prior and current mammograms and estimates a malignancy rating) on radiologists' accuracy in characterizing masses on two-view serial mammograms as malignant or benign.
Materials And Methods: The data collection protocol had institutional review board approval. Patient informed consent was waived for this HIPAA-compliant retrospective study.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) on radiologists' characterization of masses on serial mammograms.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred fifty-three temporal image pairs (138 malignant and 115 benign) obtained from 96 patients who had masses on serial mammograms were evaluated. The temporal pairs were formed by matching masses of the same view from two different examinations.
Purpose: To evaluate a noncommercial computer-aided detection (CAD) program for breast cancer detection with screening mammography.
Materials And Methods: A CAD program was developed for mammographic breast cancer detection. The program was applied to 2,389 patients' screening mammograms at two geographically remote academic institutions (institutions A and B).
