Cancer Imaging Phenomics Toolkit (CaPTk)  1.7.0
Breast Cancer: Texture Feature Extraction

This application extracts the Texture Features as described in the paper [1].

It uses the Feature Extraction backend to do all the computation.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Raw (i.e., "FOR PROCESSING") or vendor post-processed (i.e., "FOR PRESENTATION") FFDM images.
  • FFDM vendors currently supported: GE Healthcare and Hologic.
  • Each image stored in a separate folder.

USAGE:

  1. Load the FFDM image using the 'File -> Load -> Images' menu option.
  2. Launch LIBRA using the 'Applications -> Breast Segmentation' menu option.
  3. Specify the output directory.
