Abstract
A method of diagnosing breast cancer, the method comprising: acquiring a contrast enhanced region of interest (CE-ROI) comprised in an X-ray image of a patient's breast, the X-ray image comprising X-ray pixels that indicate intensity of X-rays that passed through the breast to generate the image; generating a texture feature vector (TF) having components based on the indications of intensity provided by a plurality of X-ray pixels in the CE-ROI; and using a classifier to classify the texture feature vector TF to determine whether the CE-ROI is malignant.
