Detection of breast masses in mammograms by density slicing and texture flow-field analysis.

We propose a method for the detection of masses in mammographic images that employs Gaussian smoothing and subsampling operations as preprocessing steps. The mass portions are segmented by establishing intensity links from the central portions of masses into the surrounding areas. We introduce metho...
