      Colon cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in women in Norway, where incidence rates of colon cancer increased 3-fold between 1955 and 2014, for unknown reasons. We aimed to assess the burden of colon cancer attributable to modifiable risk factors in Norwegian women using the data from the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study. Self-reported information from 35 525 women from the ...

    • Coffee consumption and the risk of cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study

      An association between coffee consumption and cancer has long been investigated. Coffee consumption among Norwegian women is high, thus this is a favorable population in which to study the impact of coffee on cancer incidence. Information on coffee consumption was collected from 91,767 women at baseline in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study. These information were applied until follow-up information ...

    • Deep Learning Denoising Improves and Homogenizes Patient [18F]FDG PET Image Quality in Digital PET/CT 

      Weyts, Kathleen; Quak, Elske; Licaj, Idlir; Ciappuccini, Renaud; Lasnon, Charline; Corroyer-Dulmont, Aurélien; Foucras, Gauthier; Bardet, Stéphane; Jaudet, Cyril (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-04)
      Given the constant pressure to increase patient throughput while respecting radiation protection, global body PET image quality (IQ) is not satisfactory in all patients. We first studied the association between IQ and other variables, in particular body habitus, on a digital PET/CT. Second, to improve and homogenize IQ, we evaluated a deep learning PET denoising solution (Subtle PET<sup>TM</sup>) ...
