Abstract

Clustered microcalcifications is one of the main features of breast cancer. Whether there are clustered microcalcifications in mammograms should be estimated during computer-aided diagnosis. Image of mammograms are enhanced by Daubechies wavelet. Thresholding is implemented by 2D entropy method. Clustered microcalcifications are detected with method of graphics theory. These make it possible for doctors to diagnose malignant calcifications.
