Abstract :

The goal of this work was to improve the efficiency of early detection of micro-calcifications, the earliest indicators of breast cancer. Studies have shown that the presence of isolated clustered micro-calcifications in the mammary gland significantly increases the range of variation of effective atomic number and significantly changes the form of its distribution. Isolated micro-calcifications may not be visible at neither traditional neither difference, neither dividing mammograms, neither at the distribution of their linear convex combination. However, the fact of its presence in the mammary gland can be set analytically by the form of the distribution of the effective atomic number. The distribution of the effective atomic number in the tissue without micro-calcifications is symmetrical and close to normal law. But breast with isolated clustered micro-calcifications is characterized by asymmetry and high values of the maximum effective atomic number. The coordinates of the location of isolated micro-calcifications can be calculated mathematically.
