Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Nevertheless, it is also one of the most treatable malignances if detected early. Screening for breast cancer with full field digital mammography (FFDM) has been widely ...
Several computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed for mammography. They are widely used in certain countries such as the U.S. where mammography studies are conducted more frequently; however, they are not yet globally employed for cl...

For the diagnosis and treatment of breast tumors, the automatic detection of glands is a crucial step. The true segmentation of the gland is directly related to effective treatment effect of the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an autom...
Breast screening with mammography is widely recognized as the most effective method of detecting early breast cancer and has consistently demonstrated a 20-40% decrease in mortality among screened women. Despite this, the sensitivity of mammography r...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: With the growing adoption of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in breast cancer screening, we compare the performance of deep learning computer-aided diagnosis on DBT images to that of conventional full-field digital mammog...
Early detection of cancer can increase patients' survivability and treatment options. Medical images such as Mammogram, Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and microscopic images are the common method for cancer diagnosis. Recently, computer-aide...

A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system requires detection, segmentation, and classification in one framework to assist radiologists efficiently in an accurate diagnosis. In this paper, a completely integrated CAD system is proposed to screen digital...
Mammography is the most popular technology used for the early detection of breast cancer. Manual classification of mammogram images is a hard task because of the variability of the tumor. It yields a noteworthy number of patients being called back to...
The prerequisite for establishing an effective prediction system for mammographic diagnosis is the annotation of each mammographic image. The manual annotation work is time-consuming and laborious, which becomes a great hindrance for researchers. In ...
