Computer-assisted diagnosis system for angiogenesis detection and classification in Computed Tomography Laser Mammography

Computed Tomography Laser Mammography (CTLM) is a full tomographic system to explore neo-angiogenesis in the breast by generating a volumetric image. Angiogenesis is a new forming of blood vessels which supply the tumour and seen in different shapes such as free standing, polypoid, ring shaped, d...
