Abstract
In this study, a new computerized method with a number of unique characteristics was developed to detect spiculated mass regions, and a simple spiculation index was applied to quantify mass spiculation levels. Although this quantitative index can be used to distinguish between spiculated and circumscribed masses, the results also suggest that the automated detection of mass spiculation levels remains a technical challenge.
