Texture analysis of masses malignant in mammograms images using a combined approach of diversity index and local binary patterns distribution

作者：

Highlights：

• A methodology to texture analysis of masses in digitized mammography is proposed.

• Our methodology uses only the texture analysis for recognition.

• We provide the specialist bigger support to the diagnosis of breast cancer.

• We cooperate to a more precise diagnosis and support in the medical intervention.
