Development, Optimization, and Evaluation of CAD System for Breast Cancer

Abstract

This is the third year (final) year of the training program, and this is also a significant year of our training program. During this year, based on this summer training program's experience and research accomplishment, we created a new training system called "The Cognitively-based Hypermedia System for CAD-Assisted Mammography Interpretation". This training system successfully got funding support for pre-doctoral training program from Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Starting from May 1st of 2004. This training program plans to involve the trainee in an interdisciplinary environment with the integration of breast cancer imaging scientists, clinicians, cognitive scientists, and educational technology professors. The project is built on the foundation of cognitive psychology, medical science, instructional technology, and information science, which embrace theories and methods in human learning, cognition, information processing, and instructional design. The research project also relates to the subject areas of CAD schemes, technology, and mammography interpretation. Therefore, the project is to meld different disciplines, use collaborative methods and find better solutions to the early detection of breast cancer.
