Breast cancer is the second-most common and leading cause of cancer death among
women. It has become a major health issue in the world over the past 50 years, and its …

The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends women aged 40 and above to have a
mammogram every year and calls it a gold standard for breast cancer detection. Early …

A general framework based on histogram equalization for image contrast enhancement is
presented. In this framework, contrast enhancement is posed as an optimization problem …

In this paper, we intend to implement a class of fractional differential masks with high-
precision. Thanks to two commonly used definitions of fractional differential for what are …

Breast cancer continues to be a significant public health problem in the world. Early
detection is the key for improving breast cancer prognosis. Mammography has been one of …

Mammography is the best available tool for screening for the early detection of breast
cancer. Mammographic screening has been shown to be effective in reducing breast cancer …

This paper presents an algorithm for speckle reduction and contrast enhancement of
echocardiographic images. Within a framework of multiscale wavelet analysis, the authors …

This paper introduces a new unsharp masking (UM) scheme, called nonlinear UM (NLUM),
for mammogram enhancement. The NLUM offers users the flexibility 1) to embed different …

The adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) algorithm, which uses contrast gains (CGs) to
adjust the high-frequency components of images, is a well-known technique for medical …

Contrast enhancement of radiographies based on a multiscale decomposition of the images
recently has proven to be a far more versatile and efficient method than regular unsharp …
