  • Publication number: 20250366777
    Abstract: Systems and methods for risk-based breast cancer screening. The breast cancer screening techniques can identify and monitor women who may otherwise later be diagnosed with symptomatic and/or later-stage breast cancer. A personalized breast CAD and health-tracking system is provided that can differentiate pathological changes from normal changes in breast tomosynthesis images. A breast progression predictor can be a generative model that receives input breast images including past images captured at a past timepoint and current images captured at a current timepoint. The model uses the past images to generate predicted images for the current timepoint. Differences between the predicted images and the current images can be used to determine a likelihood of pathological change in the current images. When a pathological change is detected. The system can incorporate a broad spectrum of patient non-image information to further enhance and personalize the prediction of breast progression.

  • Patent number: 12475992
    Abstract: A system and method for reviewing a tomosynthesis image data set comprising volumetric image data of a breast, the method comprising, in one embodiment, causing an image or a series of images from the data set to be displayed on a display monitor and selecting or indicating through a user interface an object or region of interest in a presently displayed image of the data set, thereby causing an image from the data set having a best focus measure of the user selected or indicated object or region of interest to be automatically displayed on the display monitor.
