(eng): Three fully automatic methods for X-ray digital mammogram enhancement based on a fast analytical textural model are presented. These efficient single and double view enhancement methods are based on the underlying two-dimensional adaptive causal autoregressive texture model. The~methods locally predict breast tissue texture from single or double view mammograms and enhance breast tissue abnormalities, such as the sign of a developing cancer, using the estimated model prediction statistics. The~double-view mammogram enhancement is based on the cross-prediction of two mutually registered left and right breasts' mammograms or alternatively a temporal sequence of mammograms. The single-view mammogram enhancement is based on modeling prediction error in case of not the both breasts' mammograms being available.
