Digital Mammography - 8th International Workshop, IWDM 2006, Proceedings

The proceedings contain 86 papers. The topics discussed include: a new step-wedge for the volumetric measurement of mammographic density; assessing ground truth of glandular tissue; an alternative approach to measuring volumetric mammographic breast density; modeling the effect of computer-aided detection on the sensitivity of screening mammography; mammographic mass detection using unsupervised clustering in synergy with a parcimonious supervised rule-based classifier; clinical evaluation of a photon-counting tomosynthesis mamography system; three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis in the early diagnosis and detection of breast cancer; optimization of contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis; application of the multiple image radiography method to breast imaging; study on cascade classification in abnormal shadow detection for mammograms; texture based segmentation; breast density segmentation using texture; and texture based mammogram classification and segmentation.
