Anupa Maria Sabu, D. Narain Ponraj · 2012
Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths among women. Early detection plays an important role for improving breast cancer prognosis. Mammography is used to demonstrate the presence of breast cancer and to identify the size and location of tumor cells. Texture analysis refers to a procedure or a model that characterizes the spatial variation within the image by extracting information. In this paper we discussed various methods of texture analysis for mass detection and micro calcification in mammography and we also identified the texture features obtained.
