Detection Evaluation

The evaluation of segmentation algorithms is still an open topic [124]. However, in mammography, a common meaning of segmentation is detection, and evaluation of the detection is possible if a database with ground-truth is available. In this case, a database with ground-truth is referred to a database where all cases have been examined by at least one expert and, if any abnormality has been found, it has been marked and evaluated.
