False Positive Marks on Unsuspicious Screening Mammography with Computer-Aided Detection

Reproducibility of Computer-Aided Detection Marks in Digital Mammography

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance and reproducibility of a computeraided detection (CAD) system in mediolateral oblique (MLO) digital mammograms taken serially, without release of breast compression. MATERIALS AND METHODS A CAD system was applied preoperatively to the fullfield digital mammograms of two MLO views taken without release of breast compression in 82 patients (age range: 33-83...

Computer Aided Detection on Mammography

A typical definition of the Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD), found in literature, can be: A diagnosis made by a radiologist using the output of a computerized scheme for automated image analysis as a diagnostic aid. Often it is possible to find the expression Computer Aided Detection (CAD or CADe): this definition emphasizes the intent of CAD to support rather than substitute the human observer ...

Impact of computer-aided detection prompts on screening mammography

Computer-aided mass detection in mammography: false positive reduction via gray-scale invariant ranklet texture features.

In this work, gray-scale invariant ranklet texture features are proposed for false positive reduction (FPR) in computer-aided detection (CAD) of breast masses. Two main considerations are at the basis of this proposal. First, false positive (FP) marks surviving our previous CAD system seem to be characterized by specific texture properties that can be used to discriminate them from masses. Seco...
