Paper Abstract:
|
Breast cancer as a medical condition, and mammograms as images, are extremely complex with many dimensions of variability across the population. The way diagnostic systems are used and maintained by clinicians varies between imaging centres and breast screening programmes, and in consequence so does the appearance of the mammograms generated. A geographically distributed database that reflects the spread of pathologies across the population is an invaluable tool for the epidemiologist and the understanding of the variation in image acquisition protocols is essential to the end-user who runs a screening programme. The aim of the recently EU-funded MammoGrid [1] and UK-funded eDiamond [2] projects is, in the light of emerging Grid technology, to develop a European-wide database of mammograms that will be used to investigate a set of important healthcare applications as well as the potential of this Grid to support effective co-working between healthcare professionals throughout the EU. This poster reports on the motivation for, and the initial stages in the planning of, the MammoGrid and eDiamond projects. |
