Digital mammograms representing method for mammography interpretation of e.g. breast, involves displaying strip in mediolateral oblique mammogram for spot in craniocaudal mammogram, where strip indicates region in which spot is located

摘要

The method involves displaying two mammograms i.e. craniocaudal mammogram (11) and mediolateral oblique mammogram (12), representing different recordings with respect to orientation, on a display device (5) i.e. workstation. A corresponding strip (4) in the mammogram (12) is determined and displayed for a spot (P) in the mammogram (11), where the strip indicates a region of the mammogram (12), in which the spot is located. A contour line (21) of a breast (2) represented in the mammograms and a contour line (23) of a pectoralis muscle (22) are extracted for determining the strip. An independent claim is also included for a display device for representing digital mammograms.
