Clinical mammography, sonography and MRI of patient A.

<p>In-vivo mammography of patient A in craniocaudal (A and C) and mediolateral oblique (B and D) projection before (A and B) and after completion of NAC (C and D). Ultrasound before NAC (E). In-vivo MRI including contrast-enhanced T1 weighted gradient-echo sequence after manual injection of 30 ml gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist ^® 0.5 mmol/ml) (F) and the corresponding first subtraction image after 2 min (G) in an axial view using a dedicated sensitivity-encoding enabled bilateral breast coil with a 1.5-Tesla system. The tumor is marked with arrowheads. Please note that the tumor is only partially imaged in conventional mammography due to the prepectoral position (A–D) and in Ultrasound (E) due to the extensive size.</p

Clinical mammography and sonography of patient B.

<p>In-vivo mammography in mediolateral oblique projection before (A), after 4 cycles NAC (B) and after completion of NAC (C). Ultrasound before NAC (D). Tumor indicated by arrowheads. Please note the excessive calcifications (white spots in A–D) within the tumor. The exact tumor borders are not visible in mammography and sonography.</p

Basic principles of the ABI Method.

<p>Scheme of the imaging system used for the acquisition of phase-contrast tomographic data. A monochromatic X-ray beam impinges on the sample. After its interaction with matter the refracted beam is filtered by the analyzer crystal before reaching the detection system. The whole setup used in the study measures around 3 m.</p

The control panel of the rat irradiation and imaging systems.

<p>After an optical prepositioning of the target performed through 3 remote controlled video cameras (three upper panels), high resolution target determination is performed by X-ray imaging. A computer-guided robotic arm (Kappa goniometer, below the rat and not visible in the Figure) moves the stereotactic headframe to acquire radioscopic image necessary to individuate the bregma (radiographic image, bottom right) from which stereotactic coordinates allow the irradiation.</p

Microbeams irradiations induce a reduction of seizure duration.

<p>Duration of convulsive seizures was significantly reduced in rats undergoing transections either with 100 µm wide (n = 6) and 600 µm wide (n = 6) microbeams. A high dose (HD) and a low dose (LD) protocol were tested for both microbeam groups (n = 3 for each of the four irradiated groups and n = 6 for the non-irradiated control group). *p<0.05 (One-way ANOVA+Bonferroni's test) <i>vs.</i> non irradiated rats (Control). The differences among the irradiation groups were not statistically significant.</p

Weight trend and rotarod performance of healthy non-irradiated and irradiated rats.

<p>Data are means+S.E.M. (n = 3 for non-irradiated rats and n = 12 for irradiated rats).</p

Nissl staining of sensory motor cortex.

<p>Nissl analysis performed 7 months after microbeams irradiation shows the lack of neurons along the microbeam path whereas neurons are spared in between microbeams (5b is a higher magnification of 5a).</p
