摘要
The extraction of elongated curvilinear structure in mammographic images is an important objective for the automated detection of breast cancers. We develop an approach which relies on a fixed-grid, localized Radon transform for line segment extraction and a Markov random field model to incorporate local interactions and refine the line structure. The energy of the resulting distribution is minimized stochastically via a Markov chain Monte Carlo iterative procedure. Experimental results demonstrate that the method can accurately extract blurred and low-contrast elongated continuous curvilinear structures, including those radiating from cancerous masses.
