    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for an intelligent search display into which an automated computerized image analysis has been incorporated. Upon viewing an unknown mammographic case, the display shows both the computer classification output as well as images of lesions with known diagnoses (e.g., malignant vs. benign) and similar computer-extracted features. The similarity index used in the search can be chosen by the radiologist to be based on a single feature, multiple features, or on the computer estimate of the likelihood of malignancy. Specifically the system includes the calculation of features of images in a known database, calculation of features of an unknown case, calculation of a similarity index, display of the known cases along the probability distribution curves at which the unknown case exists. Techniques include novel developments and implementations of computer-extracted features for similarity calculation and novel methods for the display of the unknown case amongst known cases with and without the computer-determined diagnoses.

    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for the computerized assessment of breast cancer risk, wherein a digital image (1100) of a breast is obtained and at least one feature area extracted (1102) from a region of interest in the digital. The extracted features (1102) are compared with a predetermined model (1106) associating patterns of the extracted features with a risk estimate (1108). Preferred features to be extracted from the digital image include: 1) one or more features based on absolute values of gray levels of pixels in said region of interest; 2) one or more features based on gray-level histogram analysis of pixels in said region of interest; (3) one or more features based on Fourier analysis of pixels values in said region of interest; 4) one or more features based on a spatial relationship among gray levels of pixels within the region of interest.

    Abstract: A method and system for automated detection and classification of masses in mammograms. This method and system include the performance of iterative, multi-level gray level thresholding (202), followed by lesion extraction (203) and feature extraction techniques (205) for classifying true masses from false-postive masses and malignant masses from benign masses. The method and system provide improvements in the detection of masses including multi-gray-level thresholding (202) of the processed images to increase sensitivity and accurate region growing and feature analysis to increase specificity. Novel improvements in the classification of masses include a cumulative edge gradient orientation histogram analysis relative to the radial angle of the pixels in question; i.e. either around the margin of the mass or within or around the mass in question. The classification of the mass leads to a likelihood malignancy.

    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for the computerized assessment of breast cancer risk, wherein a digital image of a breast is obtained and at least one feature, and typically plural features, are extracted from a region of interest in the digital. The extracted features are compared with a predetermined model associating patterns of the extracted features with a risk estimate derived from corresponding feature patterns associated with a predetermined model based on gene carrier information or clinical information, or both gene carrier information and clinical information, and a risk classification index is output as a result of the comparison. Preferred features to be extracted from the digital image include 1) one or more features based on absolute values of gray levels of pixels in said region of interest, 2) one or more features based on gray-level histogram analysis of pixels in said region of interest; 3) one or more features based on Fourier analysis of pixel values in said region of interest; and 4) one or more features based on a spatial relationship among gray levels of pixels within the region of interest.
