Application of x-ray instrumentation in medicine: discrimination of neoplasms in radiographs by digital image processing

Abstract: The application of digital image processing to mass screening for breast cancer is demonstrated in the context of adaptive spatial filtering. Experimental results for feature extraction by texture analysis and grey level thresholding reveal there is significant potential for computer-aided mass screening as an adjunct to radiological examination. Digital image processing can improve the visibility of image features, such as neoplasms or tumours, providing also speed and automation of inspection, whilst saving … Show more
