Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today. Although X-ray mammography is regarded as the most widely used method for early detection of breast cancer, the use of Contrast Enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) has gained considerable attention in the past years. Especially, Dynamic CE-MRI (DCE-MRI) considerably improves tumor classification by analyzing the flow of contrast agent within the breast tissue. In this paper we present MammoExplorer, an advanced CAD application that combines advanced interaction, segmentation and visualization techniques to explore Breast DCE-MRI data. In addition, we present a novel graphical representation of DCE-MRI data, new segmentation approaches, and a new way to explore temporal data.Additional Files and Images
