Computer aided design and computer aided modeling tools are becoming increasingly important in the design and performance evaluation of communication systems. In this work, we report on the computer simulation modeling study of terrestrial digital microwave radio transmission, using Block Oriented System Simulator package (BOSS). The work concentrates on semi-analytical error rate evaluation in...
متن کاملComputer Aided Classification of Architectural Distortion in Mammograms Using Texture Features
Computer aided diagnosis systems provide vital opinion to radiologists in the detection of early signs of breast cancer from mammogram images. Architectural distortions, masses and microcalcifications are the major abnormalities. In this paper, a computer aided diagnosis system has been proposed for distinguishing abnormal mammograms with architectural distortion from normal mammogram. Four typ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Digital Screening Mammography With and Without Computer-Aided Detection.
IMPORTANCE After the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved computer-aided detection (CAD) for mammography in 1998, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provided increased payment in 2002, CAD technology disseminated rapidly. Despite sparse evidence that CAD improves accuracy of mammographic interpretations and costs over $400 million a year, CAD is currently used fo...
متن کاملFractal Features based on Differential Box Counting Method for the Categorization of Digital Mammograms
Computer aided diagnostic systems can assist radiologist in detecting breast cancer at an early stage with improved mammogram interpretation efficiency. In this paper, six fractal based features obtained from the fractal dimension computed using differential box counting method, are used for distinguishing between normal mammograms from the cancerous ones. The new fractal feature f6 derived fro...
