Assumptions Appropriate mammographic screening per NCCN, ACS, USPSTF and UMHS screening guidelines. Generally mammogram is not indicated for women age <30 because of low sensitivity and specificity. “Diagnostic breast imaging” refers to diagnostic mammogram and/or ultrasound. At most ages the combination of both imaging techniques yields the most accurate results and is recommended based on pat...

Breast cancer is becoming increasing pervasive, and its early detection is an important step in saving life of any patient. Mammography is an important tool in breast cancer diagnosis. The most important step here is classification of mammogram patch as normal-abnormal and benign-malignant. Texture of a breast in a mammogram patch plays a big role in these classifications. We propose a new feat...

It is unclear whether introducing organised mammography screening programmes in a population where opportunistic screening is prevalent results in the two types of screening mainly competing against each other or attracting different groups of women. To compare women who participate in organised screening and those who prefer opportunistic screening, we conducted a prospective study of 932 wome...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a targeted educational intervention to increase mammography screening among Chinese American women. DESIGN One-group pre- and post-test quasiexperimental design. SETTING Metropolitan areas of Portland, OR. SAMPLE 44 foreign-born Chinese American women aged 40 years and older. METHODS Participants who had not had a mammogr...

Breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a preinvasive form of breast cancer. It typically presents as microcalcifications which are picked up on screening mammogram. We report an atypical case of breast DCIS presenting with recurrent non-puerperal mastitis with a normal mammogram and perform a literature review.

A methodology that detects the breast mass from MLO and CC projection of mammogram images was proposed. It involves feature extraction from the given image set and find the component location value. Then breast mass in single view is figured out which is then merged to get a 3D view of the location breast mass in the mammogram image.

&#x0D; The main aim of the Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis system is to assist radiologists in examining digital mammograms. Digital mammogram most popular screening technique for early detection breast cancer. One problems analysis presence pectoral muscles region with high intensity upper right or left side Media-Lateral Oblique views images. Therefore, it important remove this muscle from...

Breast cancer is one of the dreadful diseases that seriously affect women. It is proven that this dreadful disease ends the life of one among ten women. Mammogram is an efficient technique to detect breast cancer at earlier stages. This paper aims to survey image enhancement and segmentation on mammograms. Mammogram image segmentation aims at partitioning the image into meaningful Regions of In...

The aim of this paper is to review existing approaches of preprocessing in mammographic images. The objective of preprocessing is to improve the quality of the image and make it ready for further processing by removing the irrelevant noise and unwanted parts in the background of the mammogram. There are different of methods of preprocessing a mammogram image. Their advantages and disadvantages ...
