Breast Cancer Detection Using Multilevel Thresholding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm which aims to assist the radiologist in identifying breast cancer at its earlier stages. It combines several image processing techniques like image negative, thresholding and segmentation techniques for detection of tumor in mammograms. The algorithm is verified by using mammograms from Mammographic Image Analysis Society. The results obtained by applying these techniques are described. KeywordsImage negative, thresholding, segmentation.

An Evaluation of Two Mammography Segmentation Techniques
Mammographic mass detection is an important task for early detection of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. This is however still remains a challenging task. In this paper, we have proposed a multilevel thresholding algorithm for segmenting the tumor. This paper compares two most popular method, namely between class variance (Otsu) and entropy criterion (Kapur’s) methods for segmenting the t...
متن کاملA Hybrid Method for Mammography Mass Detection Based on Wavelet Transform
Introduction: Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among females throughout the world. Currently, radiologists are able to detect only 75% of breast cancer cases. Making use of computer-aided design (CAD) can play an important role in helping radiologists perform more accurate diagnoses. Material and Methods: Using our hybrid method, the background and the pectoral muscle...
متن کاملAbnormal Tissue Detection of Breast Ultrasound Image using Combination of Morphological Technique
Breast cancer is the most common killer in women worldwide, which is originating from breast tissue. Early detection of breast cancer plays an important role in its therapy. Existing breast cancer detection method like ultrasound imaging can not be used at all ages, also quality of obtained images affected by speckle noise. Thus, it is essential to introduce new method to overcome these problem...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Multilevel Image Thresholding Method Based on the Maximum Fuzzy Entropy Principle
Image thresholding and edge detection are crucial in image processing and understanding. In this chapter, the authors propose a hierarchical multilevel image thresholding method for edge information extraction based on the maximum fuzzy entropy principle. In order to realize multilevel thresholding, a tree structure is used to express the histogram of an image. In each level of the tree structu...
متن کاملBenign Calcification Detection in Mammogram Images
This paper describes an algorithm for detecting calcifications which are benign in nature. Computer Aided Detection (CAD) for breast cancer is useful for screening and for second look, because it assists the radiologist to evaluate a large number of patient cases and also to improve accuracy of cancer detection. Calcification is one of the important abnormalities which indicate cancer in breast...
