Evaluation of a B-Spline-Based Breast Compression Simulation for Correspondence Analysis between MRI and Mammographic Image Data

Abstract

Two-dimensional mammography is the major imaging modality in breast cancer detection. To overcome shortcomings like the projective nature of the imaging technique or poor contrast between tumorous and healthy bro-glandular tissue, contrast-enhanced MRI can be used additionally. The combined analysis and determination of corresponding structures in the acquired mammogram and MRI data is challenging due to large breast deformations during the image acquisition. In this paper, we evaluated a previously proposed method for breast compression simulation using an ICP-based B-spline registration. The evaluation, based on 14 MRI datasets with 19 corresponding mammograms, revealed an average distance of 4.40 mm between corresponding structures.
