Development of an automated method for detecting mammographic masses with a partial loss of region.

Development of an automated method for detecting mammographic masses with a partial loss of region.

Recently, we have been developing several automated algorithms for detecting masses on mammograms. For our algorithm, we devised an adaptive thresholding technique for detecting masses, but our system failed to detect masses with a partial loss of region that were located on the edge of the film. Th...
