Abstract

A set of image structure features which are defined using the second-order gray-level statistics is presented. These features provide information about the appearance and distribution of microcalcifications over the background of characteristic mammographic details. The image structure features are capable of extracting diagnostically useful information to help neural-network-based classification of mammographic microcalcifications. It is shown that the entropy feature has significant discriminating power for classification.
