In particular, there were no interactions between image acquisition parameters and other sound properties including frequency, intensity, or ear of delivery.
Because there are differences between centres in hardware, acquisition parameters and post-acquisition processing, the extrapolation to other centres, or generalisation of these single-centre findings, is not per se justified.
Standardization of the acquisition parameters and post-processing methods between centers is needed.
RW, MAP, and MM have worked at the realization of the acquisition system, at the optimization of the acquisition parameters, and at the realization of acquisition software.
This procedure can be rapidly and conveniently modified to reflect different acquisition parameters and data analysis requirements.
All samples were submitted to identical standard acquisition parameters and pulse.
Finally, there was no evidence of interactions between PD and acquisition parameters on breast cancer risk (mAs P = 0.67, kVp P = 0.77, thickness P = 0.95, and compression force P = 0.93).
In this work we calculated maps of movement artifacts using various approaches and compared maps across three different datasets to assess the variability between different populations and acquisition parameters.
The smallest correlations were seen between compression and the other acquisition parameters (mAs, r = 0.10 for cases and r = 0.13 for controls; kVP, r = 0.11 for cases and r = 0.10 for controls; thickness, r = 0.001 for cases and r = 0.03 for controls).
We examined whether acquisition technique parameters at the time of mammography were associated with mammographic density and whether the acquisition parameters confounded the density and breast cancer association.
