Computerized Diagnostics In Digital Mammography

摘要

Mammography is a major diagnostic procedure in early detection of breast cancer; however, the interpretation of mammograms for diagnosis of breast cancer can be problematic. A computerized diagnostic system has been developed to serve as a "second opinion" for radiologists. This system enhances the structures which appear in the mammogram and calculates parameters which characterize lesions. The authors have deevloped special versions for statistical classification and discrimination of mammographic lesions. Algorithms of recognition of lesions were constructed and examined on mammographic lesions with proven pathology.
