Abstract

We develop a method to find correspondences between a Cranio-Caudal (CC) and a Medio-Lateral Oblique (MLO) X-ray image of the same breast. Matching between such pairs of images is considered essential by radiologists for more reliable diagnosis of early breast cancer. The two images are taken while the breast is compressed between the cassette and plate of the X-ray machine, but, almost always, to a different extent in each direction. The deformations of the breast caused by the different compressions in the different directions causes corresponding points to appear far from the straight "epipolar lines" familiar from binocular stereo vision. The method developed in this paper calculates the line in a MLO image corresponding to a point in the CC image through simulation of the deformation and the projection of a 3D line (curve) corresponding to the point. Experiments using actual images show that the method gives good predictions which can be used to find exact correspondences between points in the two images.
