Features extracted from cell networks have become popular tools in histological image analysis. However, existing features do not take sufficient advantage of the cycle structure present within the cell networks. We introduce a new class of network cycle features that take advantage of such structures. We demonstrate the utility of these features for automated prostate cancer scoring using histological...
Recent studies on the geometry of fractals indicate that tumors with irregular shapes can be utilized for the study of the morphology and diagnosis of cancerous cases. In this paper, we deal with the fractal modeling of the mammographic images and their background morphology. It is shown that the use of fractal modeling as applied to a given image can clearly discern cancerous zones from noncancerous...
Contours of benign breast masses and malignant tumors in mammograms differ substantially in their shape and complexity; the former are usually round and smooth, whereas the latter are typically spiculated and irregular. We demonstrate the usefulness of fractal analysis via a frequency domain approach applied to one-dimensional signatures of the two-dimensional contours of breast masses. The 1/f model...
Fractal geometry may be an efficient tool for texture analysis in medical imaging. However its application is primarily restricted to 2D cases and at the only use of an approximation method of the fractal dimension (FD). Recently, multifractal analysis has showed interesting results in this field. This study focuses on the use of an optimized set of 3D fractal and multifractal features for the epileptogenic...
Accurate grading for prostatic carcinoma in pathological images is important to prognosis and treatment planning. Since human grading is always time-consuming and subjective, this paper presents a computer-aided system to automatically grade pathological images according to Gleason grading system which is the most widespread method for histological grading of prostate tissues. We proposed two feature...
The classification of the uterine myoma and adenomyosis from their ultrasound images mainly depends on doctors' experience and lacks objective criterions. Here a novel classification method is proposed using the multiresolution analysis and the orientational fractal analysis. Firstly, texture features under various resolutions and orientational fractal features are obtained from ultrasound images...
