MABEL: An AI-Powered Mammographic Breast Lesion Diagnostic System

Mammography plays an essential role in early detection of breast cancer. Interpreting mammography is a professional task that requires well-trained radiologists with longtime clinical experience. In this paper, we present MABEL, an artificial intelligence-powered system to assist doctors for breast cancer screening and diagnosis in mammograms, in order to reduce their workloads and accelerate the diagnostic process. Our system smoothly integrates our upgraded lesion identification models, provides a doctor-oriented annotation tool and web interface, and can communicate with Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in our collaborative hospital. Our lesion identification performance is evaluated on both public and in-house datasets, in which mass detection has achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in the single-view manner. The overall high satisfaction from doctors of our system is also demonstrated.
