Breast Cancer Characterization. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 116
Recently, death from breast cancer has dropped
significantly in the United States due to early
detection and effective treatment. DCE-MRI has
emerged as a promising technique for detecting,
diagnosing, and staging breast cancer.
Computer-aided detection systems have proven to be
useful for evaluating the large number of images
produced. The next logical step is to implement
computer-aided diagnostic systems.
This book describes the development of a
computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) research system for
investigating breast MRI masses. It shows that
computerized algorithms are reliable, have the
potential to reduce inter and intra-observer
variations, radiologist workload, and facilitate
image interpretation. With an ever growing number of
images and expanding clinical applications, CAD
systems might play an integral role in breast imaging.
