Mammary image enhancement based on contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization
Jiabin Liu · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2008
Mammary images are enhanced by algorithm of Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE).Details of mammograph,such as calcifications breast,duct and other tissues in mammary image are enhanced effectively.Parameters of algorithm are optimized to improve the enhancement so that diagnostician can analyze image expediently.Comparing with the result of histogram equalization,it is shown that CLAHE is an effective algorithm to enhance mammary image and it is valuable in computer-aided mammary diagnosis.
