Recent Advances in Breast Imaging, Mammography, and Computer-aided Diagnosis of Breast Cancer (illustrated Edition)

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer found in women worldwide; approximately 10 per cent of women are confronted with breast cancer in their lives.

Breast cancer can be most efficiently treated if detected at an early stage.

This book focuses primarily on the application of computer vision for early lesion identification in mammograms and breast-imaging volumes through computer-aided diagnostics (CAD).

Colour illustrations are included in the text, and an accompanying CD-ROM contains other full-colour images.
