Development, Optimization and Evaluation of CAD System for Breast Cancer
Abstract
This proposed training program is planned for undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering, medicine science or radiology. The program was designed as following: They were guided to visit the clinical site of related devices for mammography, the biopsy process for patients with suspicious breast tumor in Moffitt cancer center. They visited the process of film-screen image converting and transmitting and display of processed medical images in the laboratory of Digital Medical Imaging Program (DMIP) in the cancer research institute. It helped trainees to set up perceptive understanding on mammography for breast cancer diagnosis. The trainees were given a series of lectures on the basic principle of mammography, medical imaging, image processing, CAD methods, generation of databases and truth files, evaluation of CAD methods by means of lecture and seminars. The purpose was to teach trainees to have basic theory and technique on the breast cancer study. Trainees practiced on development of CAD modules and completed small scale projects related to CAD modules for breast cancer under mentors' direction. They submitted scientific report before the end of training program.
