Abstract
An apparatus and method for medical diagnostics includes receiving three-dimensional (3D) volume data of a part of a patient's body, and generating two-dimensional (2D) slices including cross-sections of the 3D volume data cut from a cross-section cutting direction. The apparatus and the method also determine whether a lesion in each of the 2D slices is benign or malignant and output results indicative thereof, select a number of the 2D slices based on the results, and make a final determination whether the lesion is benign or malignant based on the selected 2D slices.
