The focus is on the impact of combining wavelet and curvelet on the accuracy of the disease diagnosis. The paper investigates feature extraction with two different levels of wavelet, two different wavelet functions and the combination of wavelet and curvelet to obtain a high classification rate. The findings suggest the potential of combining different multiresolution methods in achieving high accuracy rates. © 2013 IEEE. AV - none SP - 3674 ER -
