CA 2438479

The present technique provides a method and system for generating tomographic mammography data (88) and processing the data (88) using a computer aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) algorithm. The CAD algorithm may perform various types of analysis, including segmentation (74), feature extraction (78), and feature classification (82). The acquired data (88) may be processed in parallel by the CAD algorithm such that information derived from one processing path may be used to enhance or alter the processing of data in a parallel processing path. The processed data (110) may be used to provide an enhanced mammographic image with features of interest marked for inspection by a radiologist. The features of interest may also be classified (82) to aid the inspection by the radiologist.
