An Approach Based on Computer Aided Diagnosis for the Detection of Breast Cancer In Digitized Mammogram

Abstract

newlineBreast cancer is global health wise that has become the second largest cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Its earliest possible detection, therefore, is of vital importance for reduction of the related fatality and increment of survival rate with a high probability of full recovery. Mammography is among the popular imaging modalities for early visualization of breast abnormalities. However, it s usually suspected to different background artifacts, unknown noises and poor image contrast, inexpensive of radiologists. Therefore, the detection of small abnormalities in an automatic Computer Aided Diagnosis(CAD) system for mammograms is always challenging for any researcher.
