Microcalcification Detection in Full Field Digital Mammograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a complete system to detect breast cancer. Main objective is to support radiologists with automatic, semantic based, search methods directly over medical images. The complete step of microcalcification detection in mammography images is presented. We use a three stage algorithm that allows the detection and classification of microcalcification with satisfactory results.

Computer-aided detection system for clustered microcalcifications: comparison of performance on full-field digital mammograms and digitized screen-film mammograms.
We have developed a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to detect clustered microcalcifications automatically on full-field digital mammograms (FFDMs) and a CAD system for screen-film mammograms (SFMs). The two systems used the same computer vision algorithms but their false positive (FP) classifiers were trained separately with sample images of each modality. In this study, we compared the p...
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...
متن کاملDetection of clustered microcalcifications in small field digital mammography
The most frequent symptoms of ductal carcinoma recognised by mammography are clusters of microcalcifications. Their detection from mammograms is difficult, especially for glandular breasts. We present a new computer-aided detection system for small field digital mammography in planning of breast biopsy. The system processes the mammograms in several steps. First, we filter the original picture ...
متن کاملA Region Growing Segmentation for Detection of Microcalcification in Digitized Mammograms
This paper presents an approach for detecting microcalcifications in digital mammograms. The microcalcifications appear i n small clusters of few pixels with relatively high intensity compared with their neighboring pixels. The processing scheme used here focuses on detection of microcalcification in a very weak contrast to their background and presents a computerized technique to identify the ...
متن کاملZooming method (x 2.0) of digital mammography vs digital magnification view (x 1.8) in full-field digital mammography for the diagnosis of microcalcifications.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the interpretation of microcalcifications assessed on images zoomed (x 2.0) from digital mammograms is at least equivalent to that from digital magnification mammography (x 1.8) with respect to diagnostic accuracy and image quality. Three radiologists with different levels of experience in mammography reviewed each full-field digital mammograph...
