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. We have conducted observer studies both under laboratory conditions and under simulated conditions. We have used computer generated lesions and we have used real clinical mammograms to evaluate different image processing techniques. Our preliminary results indicate that choice image processing method is a function of the type of lesion and machine type. We have developed a mammography workstation that is easy to use and fast. The observer studies that will determine the diagnostic accuracy and acceptability of the digital mammograms and the soft copy display are presently under way and the results will be known by the end of the year, 1999.
