The mammogram images are highly informative in respect of breast health. The medical format of mammogram images is BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data). Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) does not require any extra data, as it extracts image features directly from the image data and uses these, coupled with a similarity measure, to query image collections. By sorting the results into standard categories, doctors all over the country can describe what they find on a mammogram using the same words and terms. This makes accurately communicating about these test results and following up after the tests much easier.
