Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Aided Diagnosis
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Background:

  • Mammography is a critical tool for breast cancer screening.
  • Accurate detection of massive lesions is essential for early diagnosis and treatment.
  • Existing detection methods may require improvement in efficiency and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a new algorithm for the detection of massive lesions in mammography images.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of breast cancer detection through automated analysis.
  • To leverage advanced computational techniques for enhanced diagnostic capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm employs a three-step process: region of interest (ROI) identification, feature extraction, and supervised neural network classification.
  • Suspicious regions are identified by detecting local maxima in pixel intensity.
  • ROIs are characterized using statistical measures (average, variance, skewness, kurtosis) of intensity distributions.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm successfully identifies candidate regions for massive lesions.
  • Feature extraction effectively describes the characteristics of these regions.
  • Supervised neural networks accurately classify suspect pathological and healthy patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm offers a promising approach for massive lesion detection in mammography.
  • This computational tool has the potential to enhance breast cancer screening programs.
  • The research was conducted within the INFN GPCALMA project, fostering collaboration between physicists and radiologists.
