In this paper, we developed a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for the classification of malignant and benign masses in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) using a multi-stage transfer learning approach that utilized data from similar auxiliary...
PURPOSE: Background parenchymal uptake (BPU), which describes the level of radiotracer uptake in normal fibroglandular tissue on molecular breast imaging (MBI), has been identified as a breast cancer risk factor. Our objective was to develop and vali...
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among women in the USA. Screening mammography is effective in reducing mortality, but has a high rate of unnecessary recalls and biopsies. While deep learning can be applied to mammography, large-scale...

BACKGROUND: The morbidity of breast cancer has been increased in these years and ranked the first of all female diseases. Computer-aided diagnosis techniques for mammograms can help radiologists find early breast lesions. In mammograms, the degree of...
INTRODUCTION AND AIM: The technology, named 'deep learning' is the promising result of the last two decades of development in computer science. It poses an unavoidable challenge for medicine, how to understand, apply and adopt the - today not fully e...
PURPOSE: To our knowledge, integration of Web content mining of publicly available addresses with a geographic information system (GIS) has not been applied to the timely monitoring of medical technology adoption. Here, we explore the diffusion of a ...
After years of development, the RadLex terminology contains a large set of controlled terms for the radiology domain, but gaps still exist. We developed a data-driven approach to discover new terms for RadLex by mining a large corpus of radiology rep...
Mammographic breast density has been established as an independent risk marker for developing breast cancer. Breast density assessment is a routine clinical need in breast cancer screening and current standard is using the Breast Imaging and Reportin...
