Recently, a three-dimensional (3D) Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) system has been invented, which is likely to challenge the current mammography technology. The DBT system provides stunning 3D information, giving physicians increased detail of anatomical information, while reducing the chance of false negative screening. In this research, two reconstruction algorithms, Back Projection (BP) and Shift-And-Add (SAA), were used to investigate and compare View Angle (VA) and the number of projection images (N) with parallel imaging configurations. In addition, in order to better determine which method displayed better-quality imaging, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) analyses were conducted with both algorithms, ultimately producing results which improve upon better breast cancer detection.

Because of the complexity of RNA-seq experiments, however, the field currently lacks a sample size method widely applicable to differential expression studies utilising RNA-seq technology.

These methods are then extended to multiple genes, with consideration for addressing the multiple testing problem by controlling false discovery rate. Moreover, most of the proposed methods allow for closed-form sample size formulas with specification of the desired minimum fold change and minimum average read count, and thus are not computationally intensive. Simulation studies to evaluate the performance of the proposed sample size formulas are presented; the results indicate that our methods work well, with achievement of desired power.
