Mammogram Lesion Extraction Lesion Features Non-Parametric Classification Probability of Malignancy

(57) ABSTRACT A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme to aid in the detection, characterization, diagnosis, and/or assessment of normal and diseased States (including lesions and/or images). The scheme employs lesion features for character izing the lesion and includes non-parametric classification, to aid in the development of CAD methods in a limited database Scenario to distinguish between malignant and benign lesions. The non-parametric classification is robust to kernel size.
