Detection of cancerous masses for screening mammography using discrete wavelet transform-based multiresolution markov random field...Proceedings of the 16th Symposium for Computer Applications in Radiology. 'PACS: Performance Improvement in Radiology.' Houston, TX, May 6-9, 1999

When cancerous masses are embedded in and camouflaged by varying densities of parenchymal tissue structures, they are difficult to visually detect on mammograms. We present a novel algorithm based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and multiresolution markov random field (MMRF) that will single...

Sumario:When cancerous masses are embedded in and camouflaged by varying densities of parenchymal tissue structures, they are difficult to visually detect on mammograms. We present a novel algorithm based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and multiresolution markov random field (MMRF) that will single out the suspicious masses to assist the attending radiologist in making decisions.
