Evaluation of Digital Mammography Display
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to experimentally determine the diagnostic accuracy and clinical acceptability of digitally acquired mammograms displayed on soft copy display compared to laser printed hard copy. Implementation of state-of-the-art digital mammography and displays in the clinical setting are completed. We have investigated image display enhancement methods that have demonstrated improvement in feature detection in the laboratory. We are now evaluating eight different methods of image processing in a "preference" observer study using clinical digitally acquired mammograms. Based on the results of these data, we will proceed with a larger clinical trial to evaluate the timing and accuracy of soft copy and hard copy display methods.
