Title
Comparison of Algorithms to Enhance Spicules of Spiculated Masses on Mammography.
Abstract
We have developed an algorithm for enhancement of spicules of spiculated masses, which uses the discrete radon transform. Previously, we employed a commonly used method to compute the discrete radon transform, which we refer to as the DRT. Recently, a new, more exact method to compute the discrete radon transform was developed by Averbuch et al, which is called the fast slant stack (FSS) method. Our hypothesis was that this new formulation would help to improve our enhancement algorithm. To test this idea, we conducted multiple two-alternative-forced-choice observer studies and found that most observers preferred the enhanced images generated with the FSS method.
