چکیده

Mammography's role in the ABSTRACT: detection of breast cancer at early stages is well known. Although more accurate than other existing techniques, mammography still only finds 80 to 90 percent of breast cancers. It has been suggested that mammograms, as normally viewed, display only about 3% of the total information detected. The general inability to detect small tumors and other salient features within mammograms motivates our investigation of a system we call the Mammogram Display System [MDS]. The core technology used for MDS image enhancement is the wavelet transform.

Designing an Algorithm for Cancerous Tissue Segmentation Using Adaptive K-means Cluttering and Discrete Wavelet Transform

Background: Breast cancer is currently one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. The diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in mammographic imagesrequire accuracy, experience and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. Objective: This paper proposes a new algorithm which draws on discrete wavelet transform and adaptive ...

Adaptive Mammographic Image Feature Enhancement Using Wavelet-Based Multiresolution Analysis*

This paper presents a novel and computationally efficient approach to an adaptive mammographic image feature enhancement using wavelet-based multiresolution analysis. Upon wavelet decomposition applied to a given mammographic image, we integrate the information of the tree-structured zerocrossings of wavelet coefficients and the information of the low-pass filtered subimage to enhance the desir...

Study of Mammographic Lesions Decomposition Using Gabor Filter

This research describes a mammographic lesions using wavelet based active contour model. The sensitivity of the breast cancer detection was analyzed by mammography. Wavelet based decomposition techniques are used and tested for decomposing the noise present in the mammographic lesions. Gabor filtering method is used to reduce the unwanted noise obtained in the mammographic lesions by automated ...

Modified Algorithm for Denoising of Mammographic Images

Mammographic images are used for detection of breast cancer in women. In this paper denoising algorithms for mammographic images in wavelet domain are considered. A modified approach for denoising of mammographic images using Diversity Enhanced Wavelet Transform has been proposed. Diversity of the Wavelet Transform is enhanced by taking different mother wavelets and different number of levels t...
