Detection And Diagnosis

The last 15 years has seen the advent of a variety of powerful 3D x-ray based breast imaging modalities such as digital breast tomosynthesis, digital breast computed tomography, and stereo mammography. These modalities promise to herald a new and exciting future for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. In this chapter, the authors review some of the recent developments in 3D x-ray based breast imaging. They also review some of the initial work in the area of computer-aided detection and diagnosis for 3D x-ray based breast imaging. The chapter concludes by discussing future research directions in 3D computer-aided detection.

Detect Breast Cancer

Abstract The field of Breast Imaging evolved because a fairly small number of dedicated individuals realized the lifesaving potential of detecting breast cancer earlier. They persevered despite persistent efforts to curtail screening. From the first attempts to produce X-ray images of the breast to magnetic resonance and digital breast tomosynthesis, investigators have worked continuously to develop better ways to detect breast cancer at a time when cure is possible, while working continuously to preserve access for women to screening. Consequently, the death rate from breast cancer has declined by more than 40%. Therapy has improved, but therapy saves lives when breast cancers are treated early.
