This application uses LIBRA [1] to extract the breast region in the loaded image.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Raw (i.e., "FOR PROCESSING") or vendor post-processed (i.e., "FOR PRESENTATION") FFDM images.
- FFDM vendors currently supported: GE Healthcare and Hologic.
- Each image stored in a separate folder.
USAGE:
- Load the FFDM image using the 'File -> Load -> Images' menu option.
- Launch LIBRA using the 'Applications -> Breast Segmentation' menu option.
- Output is loaded automatically.
