A Colored CAD System for Breast in Mammography
Maha Ali · British Journal of Research · 2020
Breast Cancer is the most common and life threatening cancer among women. Mammography is the process of using low-energy X-rays to examine the human breast. It is one of the best examination procedures for early detection of breast cancer. Mammograms are the most difficult of radiological images to interpret since they are of low contrast. Radiologists typically diagnose breast abnormalities and indicate their regions from mammograms. Sometimes due to small masses or breast density radiologists may miss the suspicious regions, so the diagnosis can fail. Therefore, efforts in developing Computer Aided Detection/ Diagnosis (CAD) algorithms for mammogram analysis will assist radiologist in images interpretation for accurate diagnosis and efficient detection of cancer cells in the earlier stages.
