In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm design to automatically classify and detect micocalcification clusters in digital mammograms. The proposed GA technique is characterised by transforming input images into a feature domain, where each pixel is represented by its mean and standard deviatio

A computer-aided detection (CADe) system for microcalcification cluster identification in mammograms has been developed in the framework of the EU-founded MammoGrid project. The CADe software is mainly based on wavelet transforms and artificial neural networks. It is able to identify microcalcificat
This paper presents a clustering algorithm, called interactive selective and adaptive clustering (Isaac), to assist radiologists in looking for small clusters of microcalcifications in mammograms. Isaac is developed to identify suspicious microcalcification regions which are missed by other classifi
We present an evaluation and comparison of the performance of four di erent texture and shape feature extraction methods for classiΓΏcation of benign and malignant microcalciΓΏcations in mammograms. For 103 regions containing microcalciΓΏcation clusters, texture and shape features were extracted using
A computer aided neural network classification of regions of suspicion (ROS) on digitized mammograms is presented in this paper which employs features extracted by a new technique based on independent component analysis. Our approach is concentrated in finding a set of independent source regions tha
