چکیده

Breast cancer (B-cancer) detection is still complex and challenging problem, and in that case, we propose and evaluate a four-step approach to segment and detect B-cancer disease. Studies show that relying on pure naked-eye observation of experts to detect such diseases can be prohibitively slow and inaccurate in some cases. Providing automatic, fast, and accurate image-processing-and artificial intelligence-based solutions for that task can be of great realistic significance. The presented approach itself scans the whole mammogram and performs filtering, segmentation, features extraction, and detection in a succession mode. The feasibility of the proposed approach was explored on 32 commonly virulent images, and the recognition rate achieved in the detection step is 100%; further, the approach is able to give reliable results on distorted medical images, since the approach is subjected to a rectification step. Finally, this study is very effectual in decreasing mortality and increasing the quality of treatment of early onset of B-cancer.

A review of neural network detection methods for breast cancer: review article

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. The most common way to diagnose breast cancer is mammography. Mammography is a simple chest x-ray and a tool for early detection of non-palpable breast cancers and tumors. However, due to some limitations of this method such as low sensitivity especially in dense breasts, other method...
