Local contrast enhancement in digital mammography by using mathematical morphology

An algorithm for both local contrast enhancement and background texture suppression in digital mammographic images is proposed. The algorithm is based on mathematical morphology applied to gray-scale image processing. Several examples demonstrate the efficiency of the new algorithm in enhancing the details, object extraction and detection of microcalcifications in digital mammograms.
