MUSICA for digital mammography

Micro Calcification Enhancement

Micro Calcification Enhancement (MCE) is an intelligent

algorithm that detects potential micro-calcifications or clusters. It

facilitates reading by applying a subtle enhancement of potential

micro-calcifications while preserving their shape without

disturbing the overall visual context.

The intensity of the enhancement can be configured. And

the visualization engine creates a new processed image with

additional enhancement of detected micro-calcifications to raise

the efficiency of your workflow. The original image and the MCE

image are stacked so radiologists can easily switch between the

two. The MUSICA for mammography MCE image is always

identified by the burnt-inMCEmarker.

Critical benefits

MUSICA for mammography with Micro Calcification Enhancement

• Highlights suspicious areas of potential pathology

• Expedites diagnosis based on the original image

• Facilitates reading sessions by compensating for concentration loss

• Disturbs the user less than CAD annotations, which generate toomany false positives

Without MCE

With MCE

MCE highlights suspicious areas of micro calcifications without adding visual noise.
