Abstract
A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme to aid in the detection, characterization, diagnosis, and/or assessment of normal and diseased states (including lesions and/or images). The scheme employs lesion features for characterizing the lesion and includes non-parametric classification, to aid in the development of CAD methods in a limited database scenario to distinguish between malignant and benign lesions. The non-parametric classification is robust to kernel size.
