POSSIBILITIES OF USING THE PROGRAM FOR DETECTING CLUSTERS OF MICROCALCIFICATIONS ON DIGITAL MAMMOGRAMS TO ADVANCE BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the software module for detecting clusters of microcalcifications according to data received from digital mammography. Materials and methods. Program for Detecting Clusters of Microcalcifications on Digital Mammograms was developed. The certificate of state registration of the computer program No. 2021681653 was received on December 23, 2021. A retrospective analysis of mammography studies of 248 patients who were diagnosed with cancer without clinical manifestations in 2016-2021 was carried out. The effectiveness of the software module for detecting clusters of microcalcifications was evaluated. Results. The developed Program for Detecting Clusters of Microcalcifications on Digital Mammograms increases the efficiency of diagnosing breast cancer at an early stage.
