Abstract
An omnidirectional, multispectral and multimodal sensor/display processor for the screening, examination, detection, and diagnosis of breast cancer. Its capabilities are accomplished through stable vision fusion of the Doppler-like differences of selective radiologic wavelengths, besides X-ray mammograms, e.g., ultraviolet (UV.), visible and infrared (IR), with-vision-computer discrimination of other active and passive observables of electromagnetic fields, and medical data, including the optimum color ratios and 3-dimensional (3D) transformation of multiple imaging modalities, e.g., ultrasound, nuclear computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc., to obtain the "concurrence of evidence" necessary for maximum confidence levels, generated at minimal cost and with minimum false positives, at the earliest possible breast cancer detection point.
