Method and apparatus for the automatic detection of microcalcifications in digital signals of mammary tissue

摘要

Method for the automatic detection of microcalcifications in a digital signal representing at least one image of at least one portion of mammary tissue; method comprising the following phases:detecting at least one potential microcalcification in the digital signal;calculating a set of characteristics for the potential microcalcification; and finallyeliminating, or maintining, the potential microcalcification, using a classifier known as a Support Vector Machine (SVM), on the basis of the characteristics calculated.
