Abstract
We propose statistical measures for finding masses in mammograms. The measu res are based on fitting broken line regressions to local intensity plots o f the images. The method is illustrated on a small database of mammograms t hat have been read by a radiologist and confirmed by operative data. This w ork illustrates some of the statistical challenges in working with large di agnostic images.
