A mammogram is the best option for early detection of breast cancer, Computer Aided Diagnostic systems(CADs) developed in order to improve the diagnosis of mammograms. This paper presents a proposed method to automatic images segmentation depending on the Otsu's method in order to detect microcalcifications and mass lesions in mammogram images. The proposed technique is based on three steps: (a) region of interest (ROI), (b) 2D wavelet transformation, and (c) OTSU thresholding application on ROI. The method tested on standard mini- MIAS database. It implemented within MATLAB software environment. Experimental results and performance evaluate results show that the proposed detection algorithm is a tool to help improve the diagnostic performance, and has the possibility and the ability to detect the breast lesions.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death of women in the world. The early detection gives a better chance to cure it. Physicians diagnose breast tumors by analyzing the characteristics of the lesion in ultrasound images. Shape data, provi ded by a tumor contour, is important to physicians in making diagnostic decisions. However, due to the increasing use of technology in medicine, a computer aided detection systems (CAD) have been built to help the expert. This research focuses on using a level-set method as an effective lesion segmentation method for breast ultrasound images. By applying non-local means filter on image, the unwanted speckle noise will be removed and the image's important details will be preserved. Then the initial contours are sketched using the GUI in order to apply level-set method which delineates the contour of the lesion in breast ultrasound image. The proposed method was found to determine the breast tumor contours that are very similar to manual-sketched contours (about 96%).
This research aims to developing new method for breast tumors extraction and features detection in breast magnetic resonance images by depending on clusteringand image processing algorithms. At the beginning, one of clustering algorithms was used f or image segmentation and grouping pixels by their gray scale values. Then morphological operations were implemented in order to remove noise and undesired regions, after that suspected areas were extracted. Finally some shape features for extracted area were detected, this features could be very useful for tumors diagnosis. A database consisted of 96breast magnetic resonance images were used and proposed approach was appliedby MATLAB program, and we obtainedbreast tumors extraction and its features and compared them with the doctor's opinion .
Breast cancer is the most widespread types of cancer among women. An efficient diagnosis in its early stage can give women a better chance of full recovery. Calcification is the important sign for early breast cancer detection. Mammography is the m ost effective method for breast cancer early detection using low radiation doses. The studies improved the sensitivity of mammogram from 15% to 30% based on Computer Auto-Detection CAD systems, which are used as a “second opinion” to alert the radiologist to structures that, otherwise, might be overlooked. This article summarizes the various methods adopted for micro-calcification cluster detection and compares their performance. Moreover, reasons for the adoption of a common public image database as a test bench for CAD systems, motivations for further CAD tool improvements, and the effectiveness of various CAD systems in a clinical environment are given.
Mammography is widely used technique for breast cancer screening. There are various other techniques for breast cancer screening but mammography is the most reliable and effective technique. The images obtained through mammography are of low contra st which causes problem for the radiologists to interpret. Hence, a high quality image is mandatory for the processing of the image for extracting any kind of information. Many contrast enhancement algorithms have been developed over the years. This work presents a method to enhancement Microcalcifications in digitized mammograms. The method is based Mainly on the combination of Image Processing. The top-Hat and bottom–hat transforms are a techniques based on Mathematical morphology operations. This algorithm has been tested on mini-Mias database which have three types of breast tissues . For evaluation of performance of image enhancement algorithm, the Contrast Improvement Index (CII) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) have been used. Experimental results suggest that algorithm can be improve significantly overall detection of the Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system especially for dense breast.
