    Abstract

    Using the computer as a diagnostic tool is a normal everyday function of modern radiology departments with CT, MRI, and ultrasound. This article describes the preliminary results using the computer as a coworker in a diagnostic scrutinizing process. Conventional analogous mammographic films were digitized and analyzed. Promising results were obtained detecting microcalcifications, dense areas, and their borderlines and stellate configurations. There are problems with detecting skin changes, probably caused by insufficient digitizing.
