ESTIMATION OF DIAGNOSTIC ABILITY BY DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES ASSESSMENT TESTS
Artur Przelaskowski, Anna Kukula
Abstract:
This paper presents a method of simplifying the diagnostic accuracy estimation for compressed mammograms. The proposed method consists of three main stages: a) the selection of abnormal structure features susceptible to wavelet compression method, b) subjective ratings of diagnostically important features and c) estimation of diagnostic pattern for processed mammograms. This pattern reflects diagnostic ability of radiologists using encoded images in clinical practice. Experimental pattern estimation confirmed even higher diagnostic quality of compressed to 1 bpp mammograms than their 12 bpp originals.
