Advanced Methods for the Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Lesions in Digital Mammograms
Abstract
The objective of the proposed research is to develop computer-aided diagnosis methods for use in mammography in order to increase the diagnostic accuracy of radiologists and to aid in mammographic screening programs. We have increased the detection accuracy of our computerized method by incorporating temporal information and by developing a new single-image detection method. We have also investigated methods for feature selection and feature merging (classifiers) when only limited datasets are available. We have also continued to implement and investigate the use of out clinical prototype intelligent workstation.
