Image normalization about birads_classifier

[jpatrickpark]

During training and inference, we directly standardized original 12-bit integer values without rescaling the images to 0-255 range. The images have values typically in the 0-4095 range. We did not apply any preprocessing that is not mentioned in the paper. Depending on the manufacturer, their proprietary preprocessing algorithms may have been applied in the images.

If I remember correctly, all valid mammograms we have were within the 0-4095 range.

Thank you for the quick response! Regarding the following:

The images have values typically in the 0-4095 range.

Can you please clarify: does this mean that some images had values outside this range? If so, do you know approximately how many, and in which ranges?
