Abstract
A method, a system, a computer program and a computer program product, as well as a computer-readable storage medium, enables navigating between different medical images and localizing dedicated positions in the images. The medical images may be digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images, full-field digital mammography system (FFDM) images and magnetic resonance (MR) images. The process is based on a shape prediction algorithm and a computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) algorithm in order to find a corresponding second position in the at least one second image.
