Anisotropic diffusion filtering of mammographic image for CAD in digital mammography
Lihua Li, Yang Zheng, Lei Zhang, Robert Alfred Clark · 2002
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American women. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) has been proposed as a "second-opinion" strategy for breast screening. This paper presents a new mammographic image processing method using anisotropic diffusion filtering to improve feature enhancement and lesion detection of CAD in digital mammography.
