Breast Cance r Detection Based on Watershed Transformation
Sura Ramzi Shareef · 2014
Im age processing techniques is widely use in the medical image currently. Ultrasound and X-ra y medical images are plays an important role in the detection of breast cancer. This paper is an attempt for breast cancer detection. Segmentation method based on morphological watershed transform to extraction watershed lines from a topographic representation of the input image. In this paper, a diagnostic approach of breast cancer is presented based on two types of medical images .The first was captured by ultrasound device, while the other was captured by X-ray mammography device. The diagnosis of breast cancer is achieved by image processing techniques .The proposed algorithm based on morphological operation and segmentation watershed transformation. The proposed approach obtained very similar diagnosis of breast tumor in the types of medical images. The proposed algorithm tested on digital medical image ultrasound ,x-ray obtained from Mosul Hospital. The results obtained are good.
