Filtering of Mammograms Based on Convolution with Directional Fractal Masks to Enhance Microcalcifications

The image processing of mammograms is very important for the early detection of breast pathologies, including cancer. This paper proposes a new technique based on directional fractal filtering for detecting microcalcification clusters or irregularly shaped microcalcifications. The proposed algorithm...
