  • Method for automatic detection of glandular tissue
    Patent number: 6556655
    Abstract: The method consists of subjecting the organ to pre-exposure with a low dose of rays, creating in the field of the pre-exposure image a multi-cellular image in which each cell represents the mean signal level of a predetermined number of pixels of the detector, selecting from the columns the cell of minimum signal level most distant from a reference point, establishing about this cell a band parallel to the reference point and selecting from the band the cell having the absolute minimum signal level.
