Description
Summary:A computer aided diagnosis system based on multiresolution analysis using the wavelet functions for interpreting digital mammograms is introduced and tested. The goal is to increase the diagnostic accuracy as well as the reproducibility of mammographic interpretation. This system is based on extracting an amount of the biggest coefficients in each level of a multilevel decomposition. A set of images from MIAS (Mammographic Image Analysis Society) database is used in evaluating the system.
