Two of the projection images respectively correspond to a plurality of divided areas of the right breast in the second imaging area. The four projection images are simultaneously displayed.

A template for the localization of lesions in a breast. The template includes a substrate of transparent material that includes a central marking; a horizontal line extending through the central marking; a first series of spaced lines, each line of the first series being perpendicular to the horizontal line and each line including marking indicia for indicating the distance of that line from the central marking; an oblique line extending approximately 45 degrees from the horizontal line and through the central marking; and, a second series of spaced lines, each line of the second series being perpendicular to the oblique line and each line including marking indicia for indicating the distance of that line from the central marking. There is a right breast template and a left breast template. The appropriate template is utilized and the CC and MLO views of a mammogram are used to define a CC line and an MLO line that are plotted on that template. The intersection of these two lines is indicative of the location of the lesion. The template can then be placed over the breast of the patient and a lesion-indicative marking can be placed on the patient's skin.

An adjustable support brassiere comprises traditional bra elements—a bra band with closure; left and right breast cups; and respective shoulder straps. Adjustability may comprise left and right inner support cups having inner ends pivotally attached, respectively, to the left and right breast cups, and a respective support strap having a bottom end attached at a distal (outer) end of each inner support cup, with a top end of each support strap fixedly secured to a clamp member. Each of the left and right clamp members may be releasably secured to a infinite number of positions of the shoulder strap, to cause individual lifting and reconfiguring of the left and right inner support cups to produce a desired amount of lifting to each of the woman's breasts. Adjustments may be made by a woman, throughout the day to alter her appearance as desired.

A breast image generating method correlates radiographing order information for instructing to radiograph each of left and right breasts of a subject in an oblique direction with identification information indicating a relationship between data of a breast image and the radiographing order information so as to be stored in a storing device. A breast is radiographed based on the radiographing order information to generate data of a breast image, radiographing order information corresponding to the generated data of a breast image is identified based on the identification information, and a stamp image is superposed at a prescribed position on the breast image taken through radiographing conducted in the oblique direction to make a composite image in accordance with whether a breast region indicated by the identified radiographing order information is left or right, so as to display the composite image on a displaying device.

The invention discloses a breast X-ray image registration method based on barycenter. The method includes the steps that left-breast X-ray image DICOM data to be registered and right-breast X-ray image DICOM data to be registered are loaded; window width and window level transformation is performed on original left-breast X-ray image DICOM data and original right-breast X-ray image DICOM data respectively to obtain a transformed left-breast image and a transformed right-breast image; a barycentric coordinate R1 of the transformed left-breast image and a barycentric coordinate Rr of the transformed right-breast image are calculated; the transformed left-breast image or the transformed right-breast image is selected as a moving image Imgs, and the other image is used as a template image Imgd; the horizontal moving amount is calculated, the moving image Imgs is made to move horizontally so as to enable the left-breast image and the right-breast image to be aligned; a registered breast image is displayed. According to the method and system, registering alignment of a left breast and a right breast is achieved by moving the breasts horizontally according to the distance difference of barycenter positions of the left-breast image and the right-breast image, and the registered and aligned breast image is obtained, so that doctors can perform contrastive analysis conveniently.

A system and method for diagnosing the possibility of disease by making electrical measurements in one of a first body part and a second substantially similar body part are described. The present invention balances out differences between homologous body parts that are due to natural factors unrelated to disease, such as differences in size or symmetry between left and right breasts. Once data are prebalanced, statistical analyses can be performed on the data to diagnose disease. The system includes a normalizing module for obtaining a normalizing factors database from a screening population group to account for differences in spatial separation of impedance measurements. Once a set of normalizing factors is obtained, a prebalancing factor can be obtained that can further be used to adjust raw electrical measurements. Normalizing factors are applied to a smaller subset of measurements that are likely to better represent the body part as a whole.: This set of measurements is reduced further by eliminating a set of the measurements that can be biased by a presence of a disease in a body part. The remaining measurements for each body part are then averaged to obtain an overall measure of a body part electrical property. The quotient between these measures is then used to adjust raw measurements. The adjusted measurements remove the imbalance that might exist due to natural differences between body parts. Adjusted measurements are then used as an input to other methods to obtain more accurate disease diagnostics.
