Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women. At the early stage, no obvious symptoms were identified in breast cancer patients. Accurate detection of breast cancer at the earliest stage is very much essential to reduce mortality. Mammography has been used as a gold standard for over 40 years in diagnosing breast diseases. Interpretation of suspicious regions in screening mammograms is a subjective measure which depends on the image quality and the radiologist's experience. Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems are developed as an alternative to assist radiologist and clinicians in reliable and accurate diagnosis. Cranio-Caudal (CC) view and Medio-Lateral Oblique (MLO) view are commonly used for breast cancer detection and diagnosis.
