In the interpretation of digital mammography, intuitive recognition of the spatial location of a lesion projected on the images requires considerable experience for radiologist or radiological technologist. In order to support radiologists and radiological technologists to reading mammography, we have developed a computerized scheme to produce a simulated three-dimensional (3D) display of lesion locations by using craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral-oblique (MLO) views of digital mammography. In the preliminary results obtained from 20 cases with lesions, 100% of lesions were correctly displayed on the simulated 3D image in which locations were verified by the certificated breast radiological technologist.
