WAVELET-BASED MULTIFRACTAL FORMALISM TO ASSIST IN DIAGNOSIS IN DIGITIZED MAMMOGRAMS

WAVELET-BASED MULTIFRACTAL FORMALISM TO ASSIST IN DIAGNOSIS IN DIGITIZED MAMMOGRAMS

We apply the 2D wavelet transform (WTMM) method to perform a multifractal analysis of digitized mammograms. We show that normal regions display monofractal scaling properties as characterized by the socalled Hurst exponent H =0.3±0.1 in fatty areas which look like antipersistent self-similar random...
