Breast Tumor Analysis in Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Using Texture Features and Wavelet Transform

Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is an emerging imaging protocol in locating, identifying and characterizing breast cancer. However, due to image artifacts in MR, pixel intensity alone cannot accurately characterize the tissue properties. We propose a robust method based on the temporal sequence of textural change and wavelet transform for pixel-by-pixel classification. We first segment the...
