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!). 410 0$aLecture notes in computer science ;$v4046. 410 0$aLNCS sublibrary.$nSL 6,$pImage processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, and graphics. 606 $aBreast$xRadiography$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aRadiography, Medical$xDigital techniques$vCongresses 615 0$aBreast$xRadiography$xData processing 615 0$aRadiography, Medical$xDigital techniques 676 $a618.1/907572 701 $aAstley$b S$g(Sue)$01753935 712 12$aInternational Workshop on Digital Mammography 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483078503321 996 $aDigital mammography$94190006 997 $aUNINA
