Abstract

A statistical pattern recognition system for ultrasound medical images of prostatic tissue for cancer has been proposed. Using the autocorrelation method, the correct size of a statistical sliding window for feature extraction was defined. Known texture discrimination features have been tested for effectiveness. Another set of discriminating features, based on edge value distribution, Fourier power spectrum and wavelet transform has been derived and investigated. The set can be used as an input to a neural net classifier.
