segmentation matlab code for mammogram
Most computer-aided detection and diagnosis algorithms in mammographic image analysis consist of few typical steps: segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection and classification. Here we give a brief description of each of these steps together with the most representative scientific papers published in high impact factor journals. One of the criteria for the selection of papers was their relevance and the number of citations according to SCOPUS database.
SEGMENTATION
The aim of the segmentation step in mammographic image analysis is to extract regions of interest (ROIs) containing all breast abnormalities from the normal breast tissue. Another aim of the segmentation is to locate the suspicious lesion candidates from the region of interest.
