Title: The Training Program on Computerized Cancer Biomarker Analysis for Multimodality Breast Imaging to Eliminate Disparities in Breast Cancer Outcomes
Total Direct Costs: $360,000.00
Brief Description:To design an multimodality computer aided diagnosis automatic system for the detection of breast disease and anatomic structures of interest, the classification of lesions, the quantification of disease and anatomic structures (including volumetric analysis, disease progression, and temporal response to therapy), risk assessment, and physiologic evaluation and to maximize the information extracted from breast medical images by augmenting oncologists’ subjective, qualitative interpretation of the displayed images with objective, quantitative computations of the underlying numeric image data.
