Thus, computer-aided detection systems have been developed to aid radiologists." "The detection accuracy of current systems is much higher for clusters of microcalcifications than for spiculated masses. In this article, the authors present a new model-based framework for the detection of spiculated masses. The authors have invented a new class of linear filters, spiculated lesion filters, for the detection of converging lines or spiculations. These filters are highly specific narrowband filters, which are designed to match the expected structures of...
