In this work, we present an open-source MATLAB software tool for mammography image annotation. The tool has an easy-to-use graphical user interface enabling simultaneous visualization of both breasts. Annotations can be assigned to six categories for abnormal breast tissue: malignant mass, benign mass, malignant calcification, benign calcification, malignant architectural distortion, benign architectural distortion . Furthermore, characterization details, such as, morphology of the abnormality, can be assigned to each annotation. Optional examination-level breast density assessment can also be specified. This tool has been successfully applied as part of the data collection pipeline in already published deep learning-based segmentation and classification studies.
