Abstract

A multiresolution analysis system for interpreting digital mammograms is proposed and tested. This system is based on using fractional amount of biggest wavelets coefficients in multilevel decomposition. A set of real labeled database is used in evaluating the proposed system. The evaluation results show that the system has a remarkably high efficiency compared by other systems known till present especially in the area of distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors.
