Abstract
A method is for determining a patient-adjusted breast compression in mammography. In an embodiment of the method, input data including individual, person-related data of a female patient, is determined. Furthermore, an adjusted individual compression point is determined by applying a function, trained by an algorithm based on machine learning, to the input data. The adjusted individual compression point is generated as the output data. Other embodiments include a method for providing a trained function; a breast compression determining device; a training device; and a mammography system.
Claims25
A method for determining a patient-adjusted breast compression in mammography, comprising:
- determining input data including individual, person-related data of a female patient;
- determining an adjusted individual compression point by applying a function, trained by an algorithm based on machine learning, to the input data, the adjusted individual compression point being generated as output data.
A method for providing a trained function, comprising:
- receiving input training data, including individual, person-related data of persons in a training database;
- receiving output training data, assigned to the input training data, the output training data including an adjusted individual candidate compression point;
- and
- training a function by way of an algorithm based on machine learning based upon the input training data and the output training data.
A breast compression determining device, comprising:
- an input data determining unit to determine input data, including individual, person-related data of a female patient;
- a compression point determining unit to determine an adjusted individual compression point by applying a function, trained by an algorithm based on machine learning, to the input data;
- and
- a second interface to output the determined adjusted individual compression point determined.
A training device for a breast compression determining device, comprising:
- a first training interface to receive input training data including individual, person-related data of persons in a training database;
- a second training interface to receive output training data, assigned to the input training data, wherein the output training data includes an adjusted individual candidate compression point;
- a training unit to train a function based on the training input data and the training output data;
- and
- an output interface to output the trained function.
