Using curvelet transform to detect breast cancer in digital mammogram

This paper presents an approach for breast cancer diagnosis in digital mammogram using curvelet transform. The motivation of this approach is the desire of using the advantages of curvelet transform into mammogram analysis. Curvelet provide stable, efficient and near-optimal representation of otherw...
