Abstract: An apparatus for detection of precancerous and cancerous conditions in a breast is provided and includes a computer for digitizing at least one of a mammogram image data and a (scinti)mammogram image data of a breast, computer-based software operably associated with the computer based means for manipulating at least one of said digitized mammogram image data and said digitized (scinti)mammogram image data and generating at least one of a mammogram ROI image and a (scinti)mammogram ROI image data indicative of precancerous and cancerous condition, and monitor operably associated with the computer based means for concurrently visually displaying at least one of said digitized mammogram image data and said digitized (scinti)mammogram image data and said mammogram ROI image and said (scinti)mammogram ROI image data in a superimposed manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for detecting and monitoring physiological conditions in mammalian tissue, and method for using the same. The device includes sensors for sensing physiological conditions and generating signals in response thereto and processor operatively associated with the sensors for receiving and manipulating the signals to produce a generalization indicative of normal and abnormal physiological condition of mammalian tissue. The processor is characterized to include a neural network having a predetermined solution spaced memory, the solution space memory including regions indicative of two (2) or more physiological conditions, wherein the generalization is characterized by the signals projected into the regions.
