Feature extraction and classification of dynamic contrast-enhanced T2*-weighted breast image data.

Feature extraction and classification of dynamic contrast-enhanced T2*-weighted breast image data.

The relatively low specificity of dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MR) imaging of breast cancer has lead several groups to investigate different approaches to data acquisition, one of them being the use of rapid T2*-weighted imaging. Analyses of such data are difficu...
