I wanted the algorithm to make all the features important to radiologists degrade at the same rate - both the edges of large tumors and the smallest calcium deposits. I tried several approaches and eventually got a balance that seemed reasonable, based on what radiologists tell me they want.
More Quotes from Bradley Lucier:
The edges of tumors are where growth occurs, and they tell radiologists whether what they see is a tumor or not. You have to keep all these features intact when you compress the image if it is to be useful.Bradley Lucier
Any technique that improves the performance of radiologists is helpful, but this also means that mammograms can be taken in remote places that are underserved by the medical community. The mammograms can then be sent electronically to radiologists, who can read the digitized versions knowing they will do at least as well as the original mammograms.

It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else; and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have.
