Multimodality data fusion aids early detection of breast cancer using conventional technology and advanced digital infrared imaging

The fusion of data from the various screening modalities will lead to a cost effective breast cancer detection system that is certain to improve the early part of early breast cancer detection methods. We explore the integration of data from mammography, ultrasound, clinical evaluation, and CAD, with noninvasive digital infrared imaging data from the BreastScan IR system, to improve early diagnosis. This will address a new solution to the screening of young women and women with dense breasts.
