BI-RADS classification for management of abnormal mammograms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), developed by the American College of Radiology, provides a standardized classification for mammographic studies. This system demonstrates good correlation with the likelihood of breast malignancy. The BI-RADS system can inform family physicians about key findings, identify appropriate follow-up and management and encourage the provision of educational and emotional support to patients.

Using BI-RADS Descriptors and Ensemble Learning for Classifying Masses in Mammograms
This paper presents an ensemble learning approach for classifying masses in mammograms as malignant or benign by using Breast Image Report and Data System (BI-RADS) descriptors. We first identify the most important BI-RADS descriptors based on the information gain measure. Then we quantize the fine-grained categories of those descriptors into coarse-grained categories. Finally we apply an ensem...

متن کاملComparison of Danish dichotomous and BI-RADS classifications of mammographic density
BACKGROUND In the Copenhagen mammography screening program from 1991 to 2001, mammographic density was classified either as fatty or mixed/dense. This dichotomous mammographic density classification system is unique internationally, and has not been validated before. PURPOSE To compare the Danish dichotomous mammographic density classification system from 1991 to 2001 with the density BI-RADS...
