The method and system for exploiting information from multiple images in a
mammographic computer-aided detection application is disclosed. A pair of
images is obtained by a CAD system. The images are processed to produce a
set of regions of interest (ROIs) to be associated with each image. A ROI
is selected from the first image of the pair. This ROI is identified and
matched to a ROI in the second image. The single image feature values are
obtained by the two ROIs of the image pair. Transforming the image
feature value to an integer value produces a pair of integers for each
image feature value. The pair of integers defines the element of the
pre-determined co-occurrence matrix. An element of a predetermined
co-occurrence matrix is selected to provide evidence value for the ROI of
the first image.
