The title of this work, Breast Imaging, reflects the intellectual expansion of the field that previously was limited to standard mammography. NMR, Sestimibi scanning, EPR, and optical imaging are all adding to the richness of approaches directed at the early detection of breast cancer. These approaches put us in the enviable position of asking which technologies are the most specific (not just the most sensitive), and which are the most cost effective (and not simply most useful). This book, edited by Dr Etta Pisano, discusses the key questions and discoveries in breast imaging through a series of essays.
Bogen er en grundlæggende lærebog om digital mammografi, hvori digital mammografi og traditionel mammografi også sammenlignes i forhold til screening, diagnoser og radiografisk billedteknik. Der er en komplet billedsamling af cases indenfor digital mammografi.

This book provides a detailed assessment of the state of the art in automated techniques for the analysis of digital mammogram images. Topics covered include a variety of approaches for image processing and pattern recognition aimed at assisting the physician in the task of detecting tumors from evidence in mammogram images. The chapters are written by recognized experts in the field and are revised versions of papers selected from those presented at the “First International Workshop on Mammogram Image Analysis” held in San Jose as part of the 1993 Biomedical Image Processing conference.
The outlook for women with breast cancer has improved in recent years. Due to the combination of improved treatments and the benefits of mammography screening, breast cancer mortality has decreased steadily since 1989. Yet breast cancer remains a major problem, second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of death from cancer for women. To date, no means to prevent breast cancer has been discovered and experience has shown that treatments are most effective when a cancer is detected early, before it has spread to other tissues. These two facts suggest that the most effective way to continue reducing the death toll from breast cancer is improved early detection and diagnosis. Building on the...
This book constitutes the refeered proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging, IPMI 2009, held in Williamsburg, VA, USA, in July 2009 The 26 revised full papers and 33 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 150 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on diffusion imaging, PET imaging, image registration, functional networks, space curves, tractography, microscopy, exploratory analyses, features and detection, image guided surgery, shape analysis, motion, and segmentation and validation.
We humans are tribal, grouping ourselves by a multitude of criteria: physical, intellectual, political, emotional, etc. The Internet and its auxiliary technologies have enabled a novel dimension in tribal behavior during our recent past. This growing connectivity begs the question: will individuals and their communities come together to solve some very urgent global problems? At MMVR, we explore ways to harness information technology to solve healthcare problems - and in the industrialized nations we are making progress. In the developing world however, things are more challenging. Massive urban poverty fuels violence and misery. Will global networking bring a convergence of individual and t...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second MICCAI Workshop on Domain Adaptation and Representation Transfer, DART 2020, and the First MICCAI Workshop on Distributed and Collaborative Learning, DCL 2020, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2020 in October 2020. The conference was planned to take place in Lima, Peru, but changed to an online format due to the Coronavirus pandemic. For DART 2020, 12 full papers were accepted from 18 submissions. They deal with methodological advancements and ideas that can improve the applicability of machine learning (ML)/deep learning (DL) approaches to clinical settings by making them robust and consistent across different domains. For DCL 2020...
