Multi View CAD Employing Features Derived from Ipsilateral Pairs of Mammograms

Detailed Technology Description

None

*Abstract

Abnormal regions in living tissue are detected by obtaining images from different views of the living tissue; performing single-image CAD of each image to determine suspected abnormal regions depicted in the image; and combining measurements of the suspected abnormal regions in each image to determine whether a suspected abnormal region is an abnormal region. The living tissue may be a human breast and the abnormal region may be a mass in the breast. Ipsilateral mammographic views of the breast, a craniocaudal view, and a mediolateral oblique view may be used. Features which are relatively invariant or behave predictably with respect to breast compression are extracted using the single-image CAD and then combined.
