  abstract =   "Currently X-ray mammography is the most widely used method
               for early detection of breast cancer. However, the use of
               Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) has gained wider
               attention, since it considerably improves tumor detection
               and classification by analyzing the flow of contrast agent
               within the breast tissue. In this paper we present
               MammoExplorer, a CAD application that combines advanced
               interaction, segmentation and visualization techniques to
               explore Breast DCE-MRI data. Our application uses Brushing
               and Linking, Two-level Volume Rendering, Importance-driven
               Volume Rendering, and False Color Maps. In addition, we
               present Enhancement Scatterplots, a novel graphical
               representation of DCE-MRI data, novel segmentation
               approaches, and a new way to explore time-varying CE-MRI
               data.",
