Architectural distortion is one of very important findings in interpreting breast cancer on mammograms. However, one of the commonly missed signs of breast cancer is architectural distortion, and sensitivity of computer aided detection (CAD) systems for this finding is low. Therefore, we have been developing the CAD system that focuses on architectural distortion. Our system shows high sensitivity, but it is necessary to reduce the number of false positives (FPs) for practical use. In this study, to eliminate FPs we propose an effective new feature defined by both the distribution of linear structure and the central density based on the medical knowledge that physicians take into consideration in interpretation. This new feature is applied to 12,828 candidate regions including 221 true-positive (TP) regions that were detected at the initial pick-up stage of our CAD system. As a result, it is possible to eliminate more than 70% of FP regions keeping 70% of TP regions. |
