Detection of Breast Asymmetry Using Anatomical Features-a Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Radiologists can use the differences between the left and right breasts, or asymmetry, in mammograms to help detect certain malignant breast cancers. An image similarity method is introduced to make use of this knowledge base to recognize breast cancer. Image similarity is determined using a contextual and then a spatial comparison. The mammograms are filtered to find the most contextually significant points, and then the resulting point set is analysed for spatial similarity. An image similarity method is introduced to make use of this knowledge base to recognize breast cancer. We review analysis of breast asymmetry and thus asymmetry is a measure that can play an important role in significantly improving computer-aided breast cancer detection systems.

Extraction of Suitable Features for Breast Cancer Detection Using Dynamic Analysis of Thermographic Images
Introduction: Thermography is a non-invasive imaging technique that can be used to diagnose breast cancer. In this study, a method was presented for the extraction of suitable features in dynamic thermographic images of breast. The extracted features can help classify thermographic images as cancerous or healthy. Method: In this descriptive-analytical study, the images were taken from the IC/UF...

متن کاملMale Breast Cancer; A Review of Risk Factors and Clinical and Radiological Features
While male breast cancer (MBC) consists only 1% of all breast cancers in the United States, approximately 2000 men are diagnosed annually and the incidence seems to be slowly increasing. About 50% of men have axillary nodal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. A mean delay of 6 to 10 months occurs in the diagnosis of MBC, which leads to the progression of the disease before presentation. More t...

متن کاملA review of neural network detection methods for breast cancer: review article
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. The most common way to diagnose breast cancer is mammography. Mammography is a simple chest x-ray and a tool for early detection of non-palpable breast cancers and tumors. However, due to some limitations of this method such as low sensitivity especially in dense breasts, other method...
