Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA robust Approach to Classify Microcalcification in Digital Mammograms Using Contourlet Transform and Support Vector MachineJ. S. Leena Jasmine, S. Baskaran, A. GovardhanMammogram is the best available radiographic method to detect breast cancer in the early stage. However detecting a microcalcification clusters in the early stage is a tough task for the radiologist. Herein we present a novel approach for classifying microcalcification in digital mammograms using Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The classification of microcalcification is achieved by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2013 · 7,856 accessesView PDF Cite
