Abstract
Mammography's role in the detection of breast cancer at early
stages is well known. Although more accurate than other existing
techniques, mammography still only finds 80 to 90 percent of breast
cancers. It has been suggested that mammograms, as normally viewed,
display only about 3% of the total information detected. The general
inability to detect small tumors and other salient features within
mammograms motivates our investigation of a system we call the Mammogram
Display System (MDS). The core technology used for MDS image enhancement
is the wavelet transform
