Abstract:
A method and apparatus detects one or more spiculated masses in an image using a processor. The image is received in the processor. The received image is filtered using one or more Gaussian filters to detect one or more central mass regions. The received image is also filtered using one or more spiculated lesion filters to detect where the one or more spiculated masses converge. In addition, the received image is filtered using one or more Difference-of-Gaussian filters to suppress one or more linear structures. An enhanced image showing the detected spiculated masses is created by combining an output from all of the filtering steps. The enhanced image is then provided to an output of the processor.
