Mammographic Image
Analysis Homepage

 

Digital mammography is a radiological examination where the breast image is captured using a special electronic x-ray detector. The image is converted into a digital mammographic image for review on a computer monitor or storing on a computer. The American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) suggests a standardized method for breast imaging reporting. Terms have been developed to describe breast density, lesion features and lesion classification. Computer-aided detection (CADe) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) algorithms have been developed to aid radiologists in finding the suspicious breast abnormalities (lesions) and set up the accurate diagnosis.

The materials currently published on the web-site are what we believe every researcher in this area should read. Web-site is designed to be a portal, so you will notice numerous links to other research groups, links to relevant journals, books, databases etc. Another issue also worth mentioning is that this is a non-commercial, purely academic web-site.

On this Mammographic Image Analysis Homepage you can find:
  1. some general information about digital mammography, CAD and the structure of this web-site;
  2. information about changes/updates of this Mammographic Image Analysis Homepage;
  3. links to various research groups that work in the area of mammographic image analysis;
  4. link to Mammographic Image Analysis Research Community group (established in February 2009),
    where researchers can post questions and exchange ideas;
  5. interesting papers that deal with the mammographic image analysis (general papers, highly cited papers,
    published items vs. citations);
  6. new papers with most recent advances (the state-of-the-art) in mammographic image analysis;
  7. mammographic image databases used by researchers;
  8. mammographic image analysis algorithms with a few most representative papers for each algorithm;
  9. signs of disease (masses, calcifications, architectural distortion, bilateral asymmetry) with their short
    description followed by few representative research papers;
  10. source codes contributed by users (Matlab, C/C++, Java);
  11. list of conferences where papers on mammographic image analysis are welcomed;
  12. links to (high impact factor) journals which scope covers mammographic image analysis; information
    about some journal special issues; books on mammographic image analysis; and other related books;
  13. links to vendors developing digital mammography devices and technology;
  14. other related links;
  15. contact information.
Please feel free to inform all your colleagues who might be interested in this web-site. If you like the web-site yourself, please feel free to put a link to it on your web-page as well. Hopefully, this effort will increase the number of researchers in this area and improve the state-of-the-art in mammographic image analysis. Besides, we would be most grateful if you could send us any comments, suggestions and corrections that could improve Mammographic Image Analysis Homepage.
