| Summary: | The latest technological advances and information support systems
for clinics and hospitals produce a wide range of possibilities in the
storage and retrieval of an ever-growing amount of clinical information
as well as in detection and diagnosis. In this work, an Electronic
Health Record (EHR) combined with a Computer Aided Detection
(CADe) system for breast cancer diagnosis has been implemented.
Our objective is to provide to radiologists a comprehensive working
environment that facilitates the integration, the image visualization,
and the use of aided tools within the EHR. For this reason, a development
methodology based on hardware and software system features
in addition to system requirements must be present during the whole
development process. This will lead to a complete environment for displaying, editing, and reporting results not only for the patient information
but also for their medical images in standardised formats
such as DICOM and DICOM-SR. As a result, we obtain a CADe system
which helps in detecting breast cancer using mammograms and
is completely integrated into an EHR. |
