Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Digital Image Processing
  • Mammography

Background:

  • Digital imaging technology in mammography requires accurate simulation processes.
  • Improper handling of digitization can lead to overblurring in synthetic mammographic images.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the theory of resampling effects in mammographic image simulation.

  • To propose a Gaussian interpolation method for modeling blurring filters in mammography simulation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a weighted neighborhood averaging method for non-integer scaling factors.
  • Simulated mammographic images using two setups: idealized and clinical system data.
