Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9908225A1] A method of analysis of a set of mammograms of a current patient to provide an indication of malignancy, including the steps of: a) performing a fractal analysis on the set of mammograms of the current patient to obtain a plurality (n) of fractal dimension values of features in the set of mammograms; b) comparing the fractal dimension values obtained from the mammograms of the current patient, with a database of fractal dimension values for mammograms of patients having a verified diagnosis and predicting the possible presence or absence of malignancies in the current patient by comparing similarities in the sets of fractal values.
