| Abstract(in English) | A method using neural networks for the detection of clustered microcalcifications in masses on digitized mammograms is presented. A shift-invariant artificial neural network(SIANN) and a triple-ring filter(TRF) method were applied to detect microcalcification candidates within a mass area, and then the false-positive(FP) detections were removed by a variable-ring filter. After these procedures, microcalcifications were classified into cluster or not. We were able to improve the sensitivity of detecting clusters from 90% by our previous method to 95% by using both the SIANN and the TRF with the same number of FPs. |
