Mammographic image processing using wavelet processing techniques

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Mammograms with masses corresponding to biopsy-proven cancer were processed using algorithms based on the wavelet transform. Five radiologists assessed the visibility of malignant masses in ten processed mammograms as compared with the original film images. Mammograms processed using these algorithms demonstrated some improvement in feature visualization. Wavelet-based methods of image enhancement could prove to be useful in mammography and merit further study.
