The Otsu technique needs the threshold T to divide a mammogram with a grey value range of 298 [0, 1 − L] into two halves, C1 and C2, with C1 corresponding to the grey value range [0, T] and C2 corresponding to the grey value range [T + 1, L − 1]. Calculat...

However, because the computer classification is now completely independent from radiologists' interpretation of mammogram, radiologists must decide when to trust the results of computer analysis. A list of computer-extracted features of clustered microcalcifications developed by Jiang et al. is shown in ...
The mean time for the specimen mammogram was 20 minutes, adding an additional 55 hours of operating room time. Specimen mammography cost an additional $60,522 and was incorrect in 41 (24.8%) of 165 patients. Conclusion Specimen mammography added little to patient care, as only 3 (1.8%) of...
And while cancer screenings generally aren’t expensive – amammogram averages about $100– they can launch a cascade of follow-up tests and treatments that add to the total cost of care. Much of the screening guidance for mammograms also depends on how much longer a person is expected to...
