Early detection of breast cancer Using image processing algorithms And estimation of overall risk

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women It is newlinethe second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer Early newlinedetection of breast cancer is believed to enhance the chance of survival newlineMammography is the best available breast imaging technique at present newlinewhich uses lowdose xrays for detecting the breast cancer early before the newlinesymptoms are experienced.The most commonly present abnormalities in newlinemammograms that may indicate the breast malignancy are masses and micro newlinecalcifications newlineThe prime objective of this research is to increase the diagnostic newlineaccuracy of the detection of breast cancer malignancy in Computer Aided newlineDiagnosis CAD systems by developing image processing algorithms and to newlinecategorize the women into different risk groups newline newline
