Description
Summary:This paper proposes a method for breast cancer diagnosis in digital mammogram. The article focuses on using texture analysis based on curvelet transform for the classification of tissues. The most discriminative texture features of regions of interest are extracted and then, a classifier is built. The approach consists of three steps, detecting the abnormality, classify this abnormality into one of the abnormality types and lastly distinguish between benign and malignant tumors.
