Computer-aided diagnosis of mammographic masses

چکیده
We propose a statistical method for nding masses on mammograms. The technique is based on tting broken line regressions to local intensity plots of the images. The method is illustrated on a small database of mammograms that have been read by a radiologist and connrmed by operative data.

DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST LESIONS USING THE LOCAL CHAN-VESE MODEL, HIERARCHICAL FUZZY PARTITIONING AND FUZZY DECISION TREE INDUCTION
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women. Mammography remains today the best technology to detect breast cancer, early and efficiently, to distinguish between benign and malignant diseases. Several techniques in image processing and analysis have been developed to address this problem. In this paper, we propose a new solution to the problem of computer aided detection and...
متن کاملReliable Computer-aided Diagnosis System using Region based Segmentation of Mammographic Breast Cancer Images
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer with women are affected in the world. Mammography is regarded as an effective tool for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. The most common breast abnormalities that may indicate breast cancer are masses and micro-calcifications or calcifications. The abnormalities present in breast images are characterized by an extensive range of feat...
متن کاملA Joint Framework for Scalable Retrieval and Detection of Mammographic Masses
For years, mammography has served as the gold standard for diagnosis of breast cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Nevertheless, as a major indicator of breast cancer, mammographic masses are very difficult to diagnose due to their large variance in shape, margin, size and their obscure boundaries. To facilitate the interpretation of mammographic masse...
متن کاملDetection of Mammographic Masses by Content-Based Image Retrieval
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of mammographic masses is important yet challenging, since masses have large variation in shape and size and are often indistinguishable from surrounding tissue. As an alternative solution, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques can facilitate the diagnosis by finding visually similar cases. However, they still need radiologists to identify suspicious reg...
متن کاملA multi-scale probabilistic network model for detection, synthesis and compression in mammographic image analysis
We develop a probabilistic network model over image spaces and demonstrate its broad utility in mammographic image analysis, particularly with respect to computer-aided diagnosis. The model employs a multi-scale pyramid decomposition to factor images across scale and a network of tree-structured hidden variables to capture long-range spatial dependencies. This factoring makes the computation of...
