Computer-Aided Diagnosis System with Backpropagation Artificial Neural Network-Improving Human Readers Performance

摘要

This article presents the results of a study into possibility of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to classify cancer changes in mammographic images. Today's Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) systems cannot detect 100 % of pathological changes. One of the properties of an ANN is generalized information -it can identify not only learned data but also data that is similar to training set. The combination of CAD and ANN could give better result and help radiologists to take the right decision.
