Abstract

The appearance of tissue in mammograms is altered by the presence of a mass. Existing mass synthesis methods have not addressed this structural deformation. We present a method for modifying the fine-scale detail in regions of digital mammograms. Regions are decomposed into sub-bands localised in scale and orientation using a wavelet-like decomposition. New structures are synthesised in the high frequency components of the decomposition, leaving coarse levels of the pyramid unchanged. In contrast to existing methods of synthesising mammographic texture, this ensures the global appearance of the region is maintained. Early results in the form of synthesised regions show the promise of this approach. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
