In the method, the true negative region （TNR） definitely containing no microcalcification clusters （MCCs） is screened out, thus obtaining ROIs, The strategy consists of three steps： （1） the mammogram is partitioned into a set of non-overlapping blocks with an equal size, and for each block, five statistical features are computed, （2） negative blocks are screened out by the threshold method through rough analyses, （3） the more accurate analysis is done by the cost-sensitive support vector machine to eliminate the block definitely containing no MCCs, Experimental results on real mammograms show that 81.71% of TNRs can be screened out by the proposed method.展开更多
