Evaluation of Screening Mammograms by Local Structural Mixture Models
 Grim, Jiří ; Lee, G. L.
We consider the recently proposed evaluation of screening mammograms by local statistical models. The model is defined as a joint probability density of inside grey levels of a suitably chosen search window. We approximate the model density by a mixture of Gaussian densities. Having estimated the mixture parameters we calculate at all window positions the corresponding log-likelihood values which can be displayed as grey levels at the respective window centers. The resulting log-likelihood image closely correlates with the original mammogram and emphasizes the structural details. In this paper we try to enhance the log-likelihood images by using structural mixture model capable of suppressing the influence of noisy variables.

Diagnostické vyhodnocování screeningových mamogramů pomocí lokálních texturních modelů
 Grim, Jiří ; Somol, Petr
We propose statistically based preprocessing of screening mammograms with the aim to emphasize suspicious areas. We estimate the local statistical texture model of a single mammogram in the form of multivariate Gaussian mixture. The probability density is estimated from the data obtained by pixelwise scanning of the mammogram with the search window. In the second phase, we evaluate the estimated density at each position of the window and display the corresponding log-likelihood value as a gray level at the window center. Light gray levels correspond to the typical parts of the image and the dark values reflect unusual places. The resulting log-likelihood image exactly correlates with the structural details of the original mammogram, emphasizes locations of similar properties by contour lines and may provide additional information to facilitate diagnostic interpretation.
