摘要：
In this report, a novel technique is proposed for computer-aided automatic extraction of microcalcifications in a digital mammogram, First, the microcalcifications are detected by morphological filtering, followed by entropy-based thresholding. Next, the microcalcifications are segmented by computing regional watershed. The proposed automatic technique is designed to serve as a visual aid to radiologists. Its efficacy is demonstrated through experimental results. Copyright (C) 2000 by W.B. Saunders Company.
