A New Collection of Preprocessed Digital Mammograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We contribute with a publicly available repository of digital mammograms including both raw and preprocessed images. The study of mammographies is the most used and effective method to diagnose breast cancer. It is possible to improve quality of images for more accurate predictions of radiologists, by applying some preprocessing techniques. In this work we introduce a method for mammogram preprocessing. Our method includes the following processes: reduction of the work area, bit conversion, denoising using the adaptive median filter, contrast enhancement using histogram equalization, and image compression using histogram shrinking. Practical experiments were conducted on raw images in DICOM format from the Mammography Clinic at Hospital de Alta Especialidad Juan Graham Casasús located in Tabasco, Mexico. Results were evaluated by medical doctors.

Contrast 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...
متن کاملBreast abnormalities segmentation using the wavelet transform coefficients aggregation
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...
متن کاملSUBCLASS FUZZY-SVM CLASSIFIER AS AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO ENHANCE THE MASS DETECTION IN MAMMOGRAMS
This paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. In this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (ROI) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. The extracted features benefit from...
متن کاملVolumetric Assessment of Breast Tissue Composition from FFDM Images
We present first results from a new automated algorithm for the volumetric measurement of the composition of breast tissue from digital mammograms. The new algorithm overcomes issues in previous implementations through better segmentation and use of additional information We measure the success of the new algorithm using an overall quality metric based upon the results from a large multi-site, ...
متن کاملMCs Detection with Combined Image Features and Twin Support Vector Machines
Breast cancer is a common form of cancer diagnosed in women. Clustered microcalcifications(MCs) in mammograms is one of the important early sign. Their accurate detection is a key problem in computer aided detection (CDAe). In this paper, a novel approach based on the recently developed machine learning technique twin support vector machines (TWSVM) to detect MCs in mammograms. The ground truth...
