Abstract
There is disclosed an image processing, pattern recognition and computer graphics system and method for the noninvasive identification and evaluation of female breast cancer including the characteristic of the boundary thereof using multidimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The system and method classifies the tissue using a Fisher linear classifier followed by a refinement to show the boundary shape and whether the surface of the carcinoma is lobulated or spiculated. The results are a high information content display which aids in the diagnosis and analysis of breast cancer and to assist in any surgical or other remedial planning. The high information content display also assists in the assessment of the effectiveness of therapies showing any reduction or increase in the size of the carcinoma.
