RESUMO
In this work we propose a method for automatically discriminating between different types of tissue in MR mammography datasets. This is accomplished by employing a wavelet-based multiscale analysis. After the data has been wavelet-transformed unsupervised machine learning methods are employed to identify typical patterns in the wavelet domain. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach we apply a filtering procedure that extracts the wavelet-based image information related to tumour tissue. In this way we obtain a robust segmentation of suspicious tissue in the MR image.
