Automated breast mass detection in 3D reconstructed tomosynthesis volumes: A featureless approach

The purpose of this study was to propose and implement a computer aided detection (CADe) tool for breast tomosynthesis. This task was accomplished in two stages—a highly sensitive mass detector followed by a false positive (FP) reduction stage. Breast tomosynthesis data from 100 human subject cases...
