Abstract
EIT, in the context of false positives in
mammography is considered where repeated negative
results of biopsies can lead patients to avoid future
mammograms. Our approach is to consider the conditional
probabilities associated with use of EIT in conjunction to
mammography, not for increasing the overall rate of
detection of breast cancer, but for maintaining the best
possible rate of cancer detection with fewer biopsies.
