Abstract

BACKGROUND: Developing computer aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes of mammograms to classify between malignant and benign breast lesions has attracted a lot of research attention over the last several decades. However, unlike radiologists who make diagnostic decisions based on the fusion of image features extracted from multi-view mammograms, most CAD schemes are single-view-based schemes, which limit CAD performance and clinical utility.
