Abstract: The present invention provides for means for linking breast lesion locations across imaging studies. In particular, a generic three-dimensional representation of the female breast is used. Automatic translation of the lesion location into standard clinical terminology and aligning the breast model with individual patient images is comprised. Moreover, a mechanism for linking image locations showing a lesion to a location in the breast model is presented. If desired, a region of interest can be calculated by a region of interest definition module that predicts a region of interest of a known lesion in terms of the breast model representation in a new imaging study.
