Image Standardisation

Key to the project is the facility to standardise digital mammogram images (called SMF), which will help radiologists to compare and evaluate mammography scans stored on eDiamond accurately, no matter where or when they were created.

Dr Ralph Highnam, CEO of Mirada Solutions, who invented SMF together with Professor Mike Brady, said: 'SMF is a quantitative representation of the amount of non-fat tissue at each location of the mammogram. The difference in image quality could mask clinically significant signs.'
