DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY RADIOLOGY REVIEW STATION

乳腺癌是美国女性最常见的癌症， 15岁以下妇女癌症相关死亡的主要原因 54年。 乳腺癌检出率有望提高， 癌症被认为部分是由于通过改善筛查， 乳房X光检查。 目前，几乎所有的乳房X光检查都是在 使用屏幕胶片系统和专用于执行的X射线单元 乳房X光检查。 因为有几个限制， 使用屏幕-胶片系统进行乳房X光检查， 已经开发出了数字乳房X线照相术。 的潜在优势 数字乳房X线摄影已经建立了广泛使用的小 用于针定位或核心活检的现场、现场数字图像单元 程序. 唯一需要的技术进步 数字乳腺X射线摄影术的临床设置是有效的 显示数字乳房X光摄影图像。 我们寻求资金， 查看工作站，具有最佳的数字乳腺X射线摄影显示协议。 完整系统的评估将涉及比较激光打印 将显示器上的图像与查看框上的图像一起拍摄， 为乳房摄影师解释全乳房的介绍 数字乳房X线摄影图像。 高分辨率的最佳显示协议 4k x 4k x 12位乳腺X射线摄影图像是 乳腺癌的检测、诊断和治疗。 建议的商业应用：临床接受和使用全- 乳腺数字乳腺X射线摄影系统现在依赖于 系统和显示协议，放射科医生可以有效地利用。 数字评论站的销售有很大的潜在市场 可以取代现有的基于电影的审查系统。

Breast cancer, the most common form of cancer in American women, is the leading cause of cancer related deaths among women between the ages of 15 and 54 years. The promising increase in the rate of detected breast cancer is believed to be partly due to improved screening through mammography examinations. Currently, almost all mammography is performed using screen film systems and x-ray units dedicated to performing mammography examinations. Because there are several limitations in the use of screen-film systems for mammography, the technology to perform digital mammography has been developed. The potential advantages of digital mammography have been established by the extensive use of small field, spot digital image units for needle localization or core biopsy procedures. The one remaining technical advance required to bring digital mammography to the clinical setting is that of efficiently displaying digital mammography images. We seek funding to develop a review station with optimum display protocols for digital mammography. Evaluation of the completed system will involve comparing laser-printed film images on the view box with the images on the monitors as presentations for the mamographers in the interpretation of full breast digital mammography images. Optimal display protocols for high resolution 4k x 4k x 12 bit mammography images are an integral requirement in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The clinical acceptance and use of full- breast digital mammography systems now depends upon the development of systems and display protocols that a radiologist can effectively utilize. There is a large potential market for the sale of digital review stations that can replace existing film-based review systems.
