medical images » Multiple disciplines are combined: » Artificial intelligence » Digital image processing » Radiology They don't replace doctors, they support them.
» Lot of them! Decision Tree Association Rule Neural Networks Genetic Programming Support Vector Machines Clustering Bayesian Networks Inductive Logic Sparse Dictionary
a custom subset of DICOM and: » Reviewed by specialists and biopsy proven » Cases classified using BI-RADS » Useful for researchers. 23 17 per lesion region intesity, texture and shape features clinical features per case
includes image processing tools. » Tools to help in the segmentation process. » Three functions: 1 It stores the segmentations in BCDR. 2 It calculates image features. 3 It helps doctors to find lessions.
training app for radiologists: » Web architecture & responsive design. » Auto-evaluation using MLCs. » BCDR as a formative resource. » Continuation of the improvement of MLCs. (+90% AUC) » Certification for MLCs » Continuation of the BCDR growth (searching new sources)
Improving the breast cancer diagnosis » Training specialists » Specialists demand better educational apps (difficult to find) » All is about data! » It's difficult to get reliable data. » BCDR is the most complete open breast cancer repository. » MLCs data
