Abstract:
A method for image linear structure detection in medical imaging. The method includes locating microcalcification (mcc) candidate spots in a mammographic image; forming candidate clusters; assigning ranks to the candidate clusters; identifying linear structures in the neighborhood where the candidate clusters reside; and altering the ranks of the candidate clusters for which linear structures have been identified in the neighborhood.
