Structural Comparison of Mammograms

This paper presents a robust algorithm for the comparison of mammogram pairs. Salient regions are extracted in a topographic way. An integral invariant representation of shape, in combination with area and distance measures, are used for establishing their correspondences. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm can provide a useful tool for a ComputerAided Diagnosis system in mammography.
