Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system that allows input mammography images to be converted between domains. More particularly, the present invention relates to converting mammography images from the image style common to one manufacturer of imaging equipment to the image style common to another manufacturer of imaging equipment. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method of converting input images from the format output by one imaging device into the format normally output by another imaging device. The imaging devices may differ in their manufacturer, model or configuration such that they produce different styles of image, even if presented with the same raw input data, due to the image processing used in the imaging device(s).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system that automatically classifies tissue type/patterns and density categories in mammograms. More particularly, the present invention relates to improving the quality of assessing density and tissue pattern distribution in mammography. According to a first aspect, there is provided a computer-aided method of analysing mammographic images, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a mammogram; segmenting one or more anatomical regions of the mammogram; identifying a tissue type and a density category classification for an anatomical region; and using the identified tissue type and density category classifications to generate classifications output for the mammogram.

Abstract: The present invention relates to deep learning for automated segmentation of a medical image. More particularly, the present invention relates to deep learning for automated segmentation of anatomical regions and lesions in mammography screening and clinical assessment. According to a first aspect, there is provided a computer-aided method of segmenting regions in medical images, the method comprising the steps of: receiving input data; analysing the input data by identifying one or more regions; determining one or more characteristics for the one or more regions in the input data; and generating output segmentation data in dependence upon the characteristics for the one or more regions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to deep learning for automated assessment of malignancy of lesions. According to a first aspect, there is provided a computer-aided method of malignancy assessment of lesions, the method comprising the steps of: receiving input data; performing a first analysis on the input data to identify one or more lesions, generating a probability map for the one or more lesions from the input data; performing a second analysis on the input data to obtain a malignancy probability mask for the input data; and generating an overlay for the input data by combining the lesion probability map with the malignancy probability mask.
