European Union Invests €3.1m For Breast Cancer Diagnosis

In order to reach an accurate, reliable and rapid diagnosis of breast cancer, The European Union (EU) invests €3.1m to foster cancer diagnostic methods.
The EU will invest the money in the HAMAM (Highly Accurate Breast Cancer Diagnosis through Integration of Biological Knowledge, Novel Imaging Modalities, and Modelling) project which is designing a prototype workstation that integrates multi-modal images, such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, with patient information. The workstation will enable physicians to compare different diagnostic images side by side while reviewing patient medical history.
