Suspicious region segmentation is one of the most important parts CAD systems that are used for breast cancer detection in mammograms. In a system, there can be so many suspicious regions determined mammogram because complex structure breast. This study proposes hybrid thresholding method to use efficient mammograms and reducing number regions. The proposed provides fully-automatic based on det...

Microcalcifications are small densities that appear as bright spots on mammograms. Its detection plays a very important role in breast cancer detection at early stages in digitized mammographic images. This paper presents an approach for computer aided detection of microcalcifications. The main idea of the proposed approach is to apply wavelet analysis followed by a non-linear transformation fu...

We propose a statistical method for nding masses on mammograms. The technique is based on tting broken line regressions to local intensity plots of the images. The method is illustrated on a small database of mammograms that have been read by a radiologist and connrmed by operative data.

Breast cancer is the second most common occurring in women. Early detection through mammogram screening can save more women’s lives. However, even senior radiologists may over-diagnose clinical condition. Machine learning (ML) used technique diagnosis of to help reduce human errors. This study aimed develop a computer-aided (CAD) system using ML for classification purposes. In this work, 80 dig...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) or histogram-based intensity windowing (HIW) improves the detection of simulated masses in dense mammograms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Simulated masses were embedded in portions of mammograms of patients with dense breasts; the mammograms were digitized at 50 microm...

From 1981 to 1994, the annual number of mammograms performed in Canada increased from less than 200,000 to more than 1.4 million. By 1994, about three in five women aged 40 and over reported having had a mammogram at some time in their lives. Most of the increase that occurred between 1985 and 1991 was because of greater use of mammography for breast screening. In the early 1990s, the annual nu...

OBJECTIVES To identify the psychological effects of false-positive screening mammograms in the UK. METHODS Systematic review of all controlled studies and qualitative studies of women with a false-positive screening mammogram. The control group participants had normal mammograms. All psychological outcomes including returning for routine screening were permitted. All studies had a narrative s...

Breast cancer is one of the major causes of death among women. Nowadays screening mammography is the most adopted technique to perform an early breast cancer detection ahead other procedures like screen film mammography (SFM) or ultrasound scan. Computer assisted diagnosis (CAD) of mammograms attempts to help radiologists providing an automatic procedure to detect possible cancers in mammograms...

this paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. in this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (roi) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. the extracted features benefit from...
