- Breast cancer is by far the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. Despite technological advances, such as the digital mammography, the national screening programs, the introduction of the computer-aided design systems in clinical routine, screening and diagnosing of cancers hidden in breast dense parenchyma still remains a challenging task. The development, optimization and testing of new methods make an extensive use of both physical and computational cancer models. This paper addresses the methods used in generation of models of the breast cancer and their use in emerging x-ray breast imaging. Selected examples are presented from the current work of the biomedical engineering unit at Technical University of Varna, Bulgaria.
