A Method for Microcalcifications Detection in Breast Mammograms.
Journal of Medical Systems 2017 April
Breast cancer is the most cause of death for women above age 40 around the world. In this paper, we propose a method to detect microcalcifications in digital mammography images using two-dimensional Discrete Wavelets Transform and image enhancement techniques for removing noise as well as to get a better contrast. The initial step is applying a preprocessing techniques to improve the edge of the breast and then segmentation process (Region of interest) for eliminating some regions in the image, which are not useful for the mammography interpretation. Then unsharp masking and histogram modification technique has used to enhance the contrast of the image and to clarify some details like microcalcifications. Lastly, Discrete Wavelets Transform applied for detecting the abnormality. The proposed method has evaluated using the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (AS) mammography databases. The proposed method has achieved acceptable results.
