Novel algorithms for digital mammograms improve cancer detection

Scientists from the United States propose, "To exploit the spectral phase characteristics of digital or digitized mammograms for early detection of microcalcifications, shape, and sizes of suspected lesions and to demonstrate its use for training radiologists to discriminate signal features in different spatially varying backgrounds."

R. Kothapalli and colleagues, University of Massachusetts proposed, "two algorithms: in the phase-only image (POI) reconstruction algorithm the spectral phase of the digital mammogram is extracted from its Fourier spectrum. This is coupled with unit...
