Breast cancer is the most common death causing cancer among women. Finding an efficient and accurate segmentation techniques still remains a challenging problem in digital mammography. Pre-processing of images play a vital role in efficient segmentation because of several factors which affects the efficiency and accuracy of further processing. This paper aims to study various available pre-processing approaches and finds the best suitable existing approach for enhancing medical mammogram images for better representation. Performance of the filters are evaluated using Peak Signal to Noise ratio and Mean Square Error approaches and compared against each other for different noises.
