DISPLAY FOR COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSIS OF MAMMOGRAMS

摘要

A method for displaying a computer-generated determination of the likelihood of malignancy in a mammogram lesion. The method requires providing a digitized image (118) of a mammogram, displaying (134) the digitized image, and selecting a region of interest (ROI) directly on the displayed digitized image. The digitized image is then processed so that classifier data of the lesion in the user-selected region of interest are generated and displayed. A system for displaying a determination of the likelihood of malignancy in a mammogram lesion. The system includes a display for presenting a digitized mammogram and an input device in communication with the display for selectably indicating a region of interest on the displayed mammogram. The system also includes a processor (142) for generating classifier data related to a characterization feature within the region of interest. The classifier data is presented on the display (134).
