Fractal Analysis of Breast Masses in Mammograms - Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering Thanh M. Cabral

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.
