Microcalcification Detection in Full Field Digital Mammograms

Authors

Abstract

In this paper we present a complete system to detect breast cancer. Main objective is to support radiologists with automatic, semantic based, search methods directly over medical images. The complete step of microcalcification detection in mammography images is presented. We use a three stage algorithm that allows the detection and classification of microcalcification with satisfactory results.
