| Title: | CLASSIFICATION OF CANDIDATES USING THEIR CORRELATION INFORMATION IN COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS | ||||||||||
| Abstract: | A method and system correlate candidate information and provide batch classification of a number of related candidates. The batch of candidates may be identified from a single data set. There may be internal correlations and/or differences among the candidates. The candidates may be classified taking into consideration the internal correlations and/or differences. The locations (104) and descriptive features (106) of a batch of candidates may be determined. In turn, the locations and/or descriptive features determined may be used to enhance the accuracy of the classification of some or all of the candidates within the batch (108). In one embodiment, the single data set analyzed is associated with an internal image of patient (102) and the distance between candidates is accounted for. Two different algorithms may each simultaneously classify all of the samples within a batch, one being based upon probabilistic analysis and the other upon a mathematical programming approach. Alternate algorithms may be used. | ||||||||||
