The meetings bring together a diverse set of researchers (physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers), clinicians (radiologists, surgeons) and representatives of industry, who are jointly committed to developing technology, not just for its own sake, but to support clinicians in the early detection and subsequent patient management of breast cancer. The conference series was initiated at a 1993 meeting of the SPIE in San Jose, with subsequent meetings hosted every two years by researchers around the world. Previous meetings were held in York, Chicago, Nijmegen, Toronto, Bremen, and North Carolina. It is interesting to reflect on the changes that have occurred during the past 13 years. Then, the dominant technology was ?lm-screen mammography; now it is full-field digital mammography. Then, there were few screening programmes world-wide; now there are many. Then, there was the hope that computer-aided detection (CAD) of early signs of cancer might be possible; now CAD is not only a reality but (more importantly) a commercially led clinical reality. Then, algorithmswerealmostentirelyheuristicwithlittleclinicalsupport;nowthereis arequirementforsubstantialclinicalsupportforanyalgorithmthatisdeveloped and published. However, upon reflection, could we have predicted with absolute certainty what would be the key questions to be addressed over the subsequent (say) six years? No! That is the nature, joy, and frustration of research. There are more blind alleys to explore than there are rich veins that bring gold (in all senses of that analogy!).Lecture notes in computer science ;4046.LNCS sublibrary.SL 6,Image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, and graphics.BreastRadiographyData processingCongressesRadiography, MedicalDigital techniquesCongressesBreastRadiographyData processingRadiography, MedicalDigital techniques618.1/907572Astley S(Sue)1753935International Workshop on Digital MammographyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483078503321Digital mammography4190006UNINA
