Abstract:In this paper, a novel microcalcification detection in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is proposed, which allows detecting subtle microcalcifications that have relatively low contrast in DBT slices. 3D Foveal segmentation is employed for volume of interest (VOI) detection using adaptive thresholding scheme by local volume contrast. Furthermore, in order to conserve structural characteristics of clustered microcalcifications, features from VOI maximum ray-tracing images with three orthogonal directions are e… Show more
