1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for displaying mammography images.
2. Description of Related Art
Mammography is an essential screening tool to diagnose the early breast cancer. The prior mammograms are negative-film images obtained by a mammography machine with an ionizing radiation passing through breasts. In practice, one examination may take mammography on the same breast at different directions in order to obtain various sections of mammography images. Next, a doctor can manually suspend a plurality of mammograms on a plurality of light boxes in a consulting room to inspect and compare one by one for any abnormal findings. Sometimes, the mammograms in a previous examination or other mammograms are inspected for reference. Otherwise, for convenient comparison, an order and direction of suspended mammograms are adaptively adjusted. When more parallel mammograms are required, it is not satisfactory because the number of light boxes or the place is limited. Such manually suspending way and demand of the light boxes are inconvenient, time-wasting, expensive, and difficult to increase the diagnostic efficiency.
Accordingly, a special suspending method for the mammograms is provided to meet with the habitual behaviors of people and individual in use, the medical environments, and the operation procedures. However, the effectiveness is limited due to the manually suspending way, even the special suspending method is provided.
Therefore, it is desired to provide a method for displaying mammography images for improving the above displaying method without changing the old suspending habit, so that the practice and completeness are satisfied.
