Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the value of fractal dimension in separating normal and cancerous images, and to examine the relationship between fractal dimension and traditional texture analysis features. Forty-four normal images and 58 cancer images from sections of the colon were analyzed. A "leave-one-out" analysis approach was used to classify the samples into each group. With fractal analysis there was a highly significant difference between groups (p
