Using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves to Evaluate Digital Mammography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are frequently used to compare the accuracy of two or more imaging modalities. This paper addresses the use of ROC analysis to evaluate the speed and accuracy of digital mammography, as compared to conventional film-screen mammography.

Analysis of computer-aided detection techniques and signal characteristics for clustered microcalcifications on digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis.
With IRB approval, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images of human subjects were collected using a GE GEN2 DBT prototype system. Corresponding digital mammograms (DMs) of the same subjects were collected retrospectively from patient files. The data set contained a total of 237 views of DBT and equal number of DM views from 120 human subjects, each included 163 views with microcalcification c...

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic performance of new and established full-field digital mammography (FFDM) systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS During a 15-month period, 1038 asymptomatic women who visited for mammography were prospectively included from two institutions. For women with routine two-view mammograms from established FFDM systems, bilateral mediolateral oblique (MLO) mammograms were...

Mammography is the most effective procedure for an early diagnosis of the breast cancer. Nowadays, people are trying to find a way or method to support as much as possible to the radiologists in diagnosis process. The most popular way is now being developed is using Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system to process the digital mammograms and prompt the suspicious region to radiologist. In this p...

| This paper reports the diagnostic performance of observers in detecting abnormalities in computer-generated mammogram-like images. A mathematical model of the human breast is deened in which breast tissues are simulated by spheres of diierent sizes and densities. Images are generated by casting rays from a speciied source, through the model, and onto an image plane. Observer performance when ...
متن کاملPRROC: computing and visualizing precision-recall and receiver operating characteristic curves in R
Precision-recall (PR) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are valuable measures of classifier performance. Here, we present the R-package PRROC, which allows for computing and visualizing both PR and ROC curves. In contrast to available R-packages, PRROC allows for computing PR and ROC curves and areas under these curves for soft-labeled data using a continuous interpolation betw...
