Differential diagnosis of screening mammogram-detected suspicious microcalcifications requiring biopsyThe histopathological proof of metastasis of epipharyngeal chordomas in ipsi and contra lateral lymph glands is a definite indication of malignancy and should replace the present method of clinical assessment....
If, during the process of screening for breast cancer or monthly self-exams, there is a suspicious sign or symptom, then further diagnostic tests need to be run to figure out what it truly is. A mammogram is actually also used as a diagnostic test, not just a screening tool, because, ...
The recent progress in the study of mammography interpretation has drawn much attention with an increasing number of mammogram datasets with various characteristics, while some datasets are publicly available to the research community, some have restricted access or are not open13,14,15,16,17,18,19...
1 for an example of a screening mammogram. We used a subset of the test set for our reader study, which is also the same subset used in the reader study of12. For our DNN experiments, we used two architectures in order to draw general conclusions: the deep multi-view classifier (DMV)...

Abnormalities are represented as binary mask images of the same size as their associated mammograms. These mask images delineate the ROI of each abnormality. Users can perform an element-wise selection of pixels within an abnormality mask that was created for each mammogram. For convenience of abnor...
this is not a real mammogram image; or 3. unsure this image is real or not. The readers were told to use a reasonable amount of time at their clinical discretion for assessing an image. For each session, the number of images were pre-assigned, the images were chosen randomly, and the...
