Abstract

A system and method for detecting an anomaly in a tissue captured or imaged by an imaging system are provided. A uniform region in an image representing a tissue may be defined by identifying a group of pixels associated with a predefined variance from an imaging parameter value. An adaptive size window may be used to define a sub-region in a uniform region. An anomaly may be detected by identifying, in the sub-region, a set of pixels associated with imaging parameter values indicative of an anomaly. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
