Breast masses present shape and gray-scale characteristics in mammograms that vary between benign masses and malignant tumors. This book demonstrates the use of fractal analysis to classify breast masses as benign masses or malignant tumors based on the irregularity exhibited in their contours and the gray-scale variability exhibited in their mammographic images. A few different approaches are described to estimate the fractal dimension (FD) of the contour of a mass, including the ruler method, box-counting method, and the power spectral analysis (PSA) method. Procedures are also described for the estimation of the FD of the gray-scale image of a mass using the blanket method and the PSA method. To facilitate comparative analysis of FD as a feature for pattern classification of breast masses, several other shape features and texture measures are described in the book. The shape features described include compactness, spiculation index, fractional concavity, and Fourier factor. The texture measures described are statistical measures derived from th | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-01654-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-00526-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-01654-7Series ISSN 1930-0328 Series E-ISSN 1930-0336 | issn_series | 1930-0328 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2012 |
