A Wireless Testbed Development for a Telediagnosis and Telemammography Network

Abstract

Providing mammographic services to women in underserved areas via telemammography is very important. With remote computer-aided breast cancer detection and diagnosis, it has the advantage of higher penetration of women for cancer screening. This training program relates to research to develop a new telemammography scheme which is directed at the development, optimization, and evaluation of a new class of computer-assisted diagnostic system for telemammography applications. Through this training program, the trainees learn the process of breast cancer diagnosis and the role of mammography, understand the role of wireless communications in telemammographic services, and program and design elements for a wireless system and testbed.
