COBRA: An Evolved Online Tool for Mammography Interpretation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an evolved rule-based tool for mammography interpretation denominated “COBRA: Catalonia online breastcancer risk assessor.” COBRA is designed to aid radiologists in the interpretation of mammography to decide whether to perform a biopsy on a patient or not while providing a human-friendly explanation of the underlying reasoning. From a diagnostic point of view, the tool exhibits high performance measures (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value). From an interpretability point of view, COBRA’s behavior is explained by only 14 rules containing, in average, 2.73 conditions perrule.

متن کاملBreast MRI Screening for the Clinician: Evolution to Current Evidence-Based Practice
The utility of MRI in the detection of breast cancer has evolved over the last few decades. It is now the most sensitive imaging tool available for the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. There are drawbacks however, namely increased cost in comparison to screening mammography and decreased specificity. Thus, it is important to tailor the use of breast MRI to specific screening populations in ...

It is the policy of the University of Chicago that investigators disclose publicly actual or potential significant financial interests that may appear to be affected by the research activities. Useful interpretation in mammography depends on the quality of the mammographic images and the ability of the radiologists who interpret them. Improvements in radio-graphic technique, as well as mandator...
متن کاملLiterature Survey on Tumor Detection from Mammogram
Mammography is a specific type of imaging system used to examine the breast as mentioned by Tang et al (2009) and radiology information available online (2010). Wang and Karayiannis (1998) claim that, one of the difficulties with mammography is that mammograms generally have low contrast. This makes it difficult for the radiologists to interpret the results. CAD is used to aid radiologists in t...
