Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast has been proposed as a noninvasive diagnostic test for evaluation suspicious ("index") lesions noted on mammography and/or clinical examination (CBE). However, women may have incidental ("serendipitous") detected by MRI that are not found or CBE. To understand better whether biopsy procedures should be performed to evaluate serendipitous lesions, we estimated cancer risk with this type lesion. Methods: A decision analysis model was...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for type-t Gaussian normal basis (GNB) binary finite field multiplication using Toeplitz matrix-vector representation. It is shown that the GNB can be realized through block matrix-vector-products. A digit-serial systolic multiplier proposed where each processing element comprised of and three registers. Analytical results indicate our architecture has significantly lower area complexity than existing multipliers.
