An Image Analysis of Breast Thermograms
نویسنده
چکیده
Thermography (infrared imaging) is a non-invasive technique applied for the detection breast cancer. We consider the problem of automatically recognition malignant breast from frontal view thermography image presented as gray scale image. This framework provides insights into several issues: breast Region of Interest (ROI) detection, extraction statistical features, extraction features based on texture and co-occurrence matrix.

متن کاملAutomatic Diagnosis of Breast Cancer using Thermographic Color Analysis and SVM Classifier
Breast cancer is the commonly found cancer in women. Studies show that the detection at the earliest can bring down the mortality rate. Infrared Breast thermography uses the temperature changes in breast to arrive at diagnosis. Due to increased cell activity, the tumor and the surrounding areas has higher temperature emitting higher infrared radiations. These radiations are captured by thermal ...
متن کاملThermography based breast cancer detection using texture features and minimum variance quantization
In this paper, we present a system based on feature extraction techniques and image segmentation techniques for detecting and diagnosing abnormal patterns in breast thermograms. The proposed system consists of three major steps: feature extraction, classification into normal and abnormal pattern and segmentation of abnormal pattern. Computed features based on gray-level co-occurrence matrices a...
متن کاملAsymmetry Analysis Using Automatic Segmentation and Classification for Breast Cancer Detection in Thermograms
Thermal infrared imaging has shown effective results as a diagnostic tool in breast cancer detection. It can be used as a complementary to traditional mammography. Asymmetry analysis are usually used to help detect abnormalities. However, in infrared imaging, this cannot be done without human interference. This paper proposes an automatic approach to asymmetry analysis in thermograms. It includ...
