Computer-Aided Mass Detection Based on Ipsilateral Multiview Mammograms

This paper addresses a very important and timely project. It is related to two main problems regarding the development of breast cancer detection and diagnosis: early-stage detection and diagnosis of breast cancer with digital mammogram, and overall improvement of CAD system performance for clinical implementation. In order to improve the efficacy, accuracy, and efficiency of the current CAD scheme, an entirely new class of CAD method is required. This paper is unique in that a comprehensive and state-of-the-art approach is proposed for the CAD scheme of digital mammography. From the design aspect of the CAD scheme, the proposed ipsilateral multiview CAD method is innovative and quite different from current single-view CAD methods.
