Configuration File Parameters

The configuration file contains all the parameters necessary to generate a breast mass. They are divided into several categories, primarily by tissue type. In the following tables each parameter is given a brief description.

base parameters

Name	Type	Notes
base.imgRes	float (mm)	voxel size
base.seed	integer	random number seed (chosen randomly if not specified)

mass parameters

mass.lMax	integer	maximum spherical harmonic order
mass.alpha	double (mm)	mean mass radius (mm)”)
mass.meanSigma2	double (mm^2)	mean mass surface irregularity variance
mass.stdSigma2	double (mm^2)	mass surface irregularity standard deviation
mass.powerLaw	double	covariance power law index
mass.meanLF	double	mean number of low freq. modifications
mass.stdLF	double	std. deviation of number of low freq. modifications
mass.meanShape	double	mean LF shape distribution 0=spike, 1=bump
mass.stdShape	double	std. deviation of LF shape 0=spike, 1=bump
mass.meanLFRad	double	mean relative LF radius
mass.stdLFRad	double	std. deviation of LF radius
