Digital Mammography: Computer-Aided Breast Cancer Diagnosis


To develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for full field digital mammography (FFDM)
using advanced computer vision techniques and to evaluate the effects of CAD on
interpretation of digital mammograms (DMs). This system will assist radiologists with the
four most important areas in mammographic interpretation: (1) detection of masses, (2)
classification of masses, (3) detection of microcalcifications, (4) classification of
microcalcifications. The proposed approach is distinctly different from previous approaches
in that image information from two-view and bilateral mammograms will be fused with that
from the single-view mammogram to improve lesion detection and characterization.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Females who have been scheduled for mammographic exams.

- Females who have been recommended for work-up or biopsy due to a suspicious finding
on their mammogram.

- Females who can give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- No subject under 18 years of age
