A comparative evaluation of two algorithms of detection of masses on mammograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we implement and carry out the comparison of two methods of computer-aided-detection of masses on mammograms. The two algorithms basically consist of 3 steps each: segmentation, binarization and noise suppression using different techniques for each step. A database of 60 images was used to compare the performance of the two algorithms in terms of general detection efficiency, conservation of size and shape of detected masses.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world. The automatic detection of masses in digital mammograms is a challenging task and a major step in the development of breast cancer CAD systems. In this study, we introduce a new method for automatic detection of suspicious mass candidate (SMC) regions in a mammogram. Methods: Mammography is widely used for the early...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) or histogram-based intensity windowing (HIW) improves the detection of simulated masses in dense mammograms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Simulated masses were embedded in portions of mammograms of patients with dense breasts; the mammograms were digitized at 50 microm...

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. Screening mammography is a low‑dose X‑ray examination of breasts, which is conducted to detect breast cancer at early stages when the cancerous tumor is too small to be felt as a lump. Screening mammography is conducted for women with no symptoms of breast cancer, for early detection of cancer when the cancer is most treatable an...

متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Mammograms for Rapid Detection of Microcalcification Clusters
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...
