Separate modal analysis for tumor detection with a digital image elasto tomography (DIET) breast cancer screening system

Separate modal analysis for tumor detection with a digital image elasto tomography (DIET) breast cancer screening system.

PURPOSE It is estimated that every year, 1 × 10(6) women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 410,000 die annually worldwide. Digital Image Elasto Tomography (DIET) is a new noninvasive breast cancer screening modality that induces mechanical vibrations in the breast and images its surface motion with digital cameras to detect changes in stiffness. This research develops a new automa...

Image Quality Requirements for Digital Mammography in Breast Cancer Screening

Mammography is currently considered to be the best tool for early detection of breast cancer. The target groups of most of the population-based screening programmes are women aged between 50 and 65 years. A recent study has also shown mortality benefit in the age group 40-49 (Hellquist, et al, 2010). Screen-film mammography has been to date the traditional test for breast screening having been ...

A Hierarchical Classification Method for Breast Tumor Detection

Introduction Breast cancer is the second cause of mortality among women. Early detection of it can enhance the chance of survival. Screening systems such as mammography cannot perfectly differentiate between patients and healthy individuals. Computer-aided diagnosis can help physicians make a more accurate diagnosis. Materials and Methods Regarding the importance of separating normal and abnorm...

Comparing the Effectiveness of Digital and Analog Mammography in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Screening: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and one of the leading causes of death in the productivity ages. Mammography screening is the main method for the diagnosis of breast cancer. While analog mammography counts as the standard method of screening, the digital one can be an alternative. This review compared the effectiveness and safety of these technologie...
