Prospective Testing of a Clinical Mammography Workstation for CAD: Analysis of the First 10,000 Cases

  • Chapter
Digital Mammography

Abstract

For over ten years, we have been developing automated computerized schemes to assist radiologists in detecting breast cancer from mammograms. These detection schemes have been implemented on an “intelligent” mammography workstation that has been used prospectively on screening mammograms for over three years. The purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of the workstation in comparison to radiologists’ clinical interpretations of the same screening mammograms.
