Patent number: 7418119Abstract: A method for displaying a computer-generated determination of the overall likelihood of malignancy in a mammogram lesion. The method requires providing a digitized image of a mammogram, displaying the digitized image, and selecting a region of interest directly on the displayed digitized image. The digitized image is then processed so that classifier data of the lesion in the user-selected region of interest are generated and displayed. The overall likelihood of malignancy is generated from the classifier data and also displayed. A clinical recommendation for further assessing the lesion is derived from the overall evaluation of malignancy and presented to the user. A system for displaying a determination of the overall likelihood of malignancy in a mammogram lesion and for presenting a clinical recommendation to the user is also provided. A method for integrating the overall likelihood of malignancy with a physician's independent score for the lesion is discussed.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2004Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Siemens Computer Aided Diagnosis Ltd.Inventors: Isaac Leichter, Philippe Bamberger, Richard Lederman

Patent number: 7289650Abstract: A method of separating and collating mammogram records, the method including the step of providing and scanning a separator film having identifiable features which when scanned identify the film as a separator film, thereby assisting in the separation of mammograms of different patients. A separator film for use with a mammogram workstation the film having at least one identifiable characteristic recognizable by the workstation's processing means so that the film is identified as a separator film separating mammograms of different patients. A workstation system for collating radiological film mammograms which includes a scanner which digitizes radiological film mammograms and scans a separator film carrying identifiable features for identifying the film as a separator film usable to separate mammograms of different patients.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Siemens Computer Aided Disgnosis Ltd.Inventors: Philippe Nathan Bamberger, Isaac Leichter, Nicolas J.

A system for displaying a determination of the likelihood of malignancy in a mammogram lesion. The system includes a display for presenting a digitized mammogram and an input device in communication with the display for selectably indicating a region of interest on the displayed mammogram. The system also includes a processor for generating classifier data related to a characterization feature within the region of interest. The classifier data is presented on the display.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Siemens Computer Aided Diagnosis Ltd.Inventors: Isaac Leichter, Philippe Bamberger, Boris Novak

Patent number: 5970164Abstract: A system and method for diagnosis of living tissue diseases is described. The system includes a computer device for controlling its operation. An operator control device is coupled to the computer device. A viewing screen is coupled to the computer device for displaying digitized images of the living tissue. The operator, using the control device, selects desired portions of the digitized image for further image enhancement according to a desired image enhancement feature selectable from a plurality of image enhancement features. The image enhancement features include any combination of grey scale stretching, contrast enhancement based on logarithmic histogram equalization, spot enhancement and magnification. The system further includes means for visualization and quantification of micro-calcifications, and means for visualization and quantification of mass spiculations.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1997Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: SophisView Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Philippe Bamberger, Isaac Leichter, Scott Fields, Yuriy Alexandrov, Vlad Mendelevich
