The bilateral and 3D mammogram processes are nearly identical from the patient perspective. Both methods function on one breast at a time, compressing the tissue with a paddle to maximize the x-ray image quality with minimal radiation. While a 3D mammogram may take slightly longer, both methods ...
The purpose of this study is to develop a new method for generating synthesized mammogram (SM) from digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and to assess its potential as an adjunct to DBT. We first applied multiscale bilateral filtering to the reconstructed DBT slices to enhance the high-frequency ...
Preventative surgery (prophylactic mastectomy) may also prevent breast cancer. Bilateral prophylactic mastectomy is the removal of both breasts in order to prevent breast cancer. Women with a strong family history and BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations may choose to have bilateral prophylactic mastectomy in orde...
resolution classifier are proposed. These new architectures perform multi-scale classification by combining different patch sizes and input image resolutions. The AUC is increased by 3% on the public CBIS-DDSM dataset and by 5% on an internal dataset. Compared with a baseline single patch size and...
