Application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues

Abstract:
Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues.Small angle X-ray scattering (to angles less than 10°) is predominantly coherent.
Materials And Methods
primary collimator, sample holder, secondary collimator and HP Ge detector was used. The bestconstructive interference was found to be at 6.5at several angles of 4, 5, 6, 6.5 and 7.3 degrees. The total number of 99 breast tissue samples,including normal and tumor were studied at the 6.5transfer was obtained for each sample.The energy dispersive method with a set up including X-ray tube,° after doing experiments on adipose breast tissue°.

Benignand malignant breast tissues were differentiated by both peak positions and peak heights (eachpeak has a height in coherent scattering spectrum).
