Abstract
The present invention falls within the field of medical imaging, specifically imaging aimed at identifying breast lesions, specifically, identifying potential breast cancer lesion masses or potential cancer lesion calcifications of the breast. The object of the present invention is a computational method for the improved identification of breast lesions that involves obtaining digital images of a breast section, with at least two digital images obtained by different imaging technologies, their segmentation and consequent correlations, to identify one or more cancer lesions. This allows for improved automation of the identification of breast lesions.
