Our aim is to establish accurate correspondences between temporal mammograms in order to improve the detection of tumours. We propose a method for detecting abnormalities after aligning a pair of mammograms using thin-plate spline interpolation based on corresponding points on the breast boundary. We also suggest a method for the automatic detection of landmarks within the breast tissue. We sho...

high. Only distal muscular responses would be accepted. We would be interested to know more about patient acceptance of the procedure, as penetration of the pectoral muscle with a thin needle is sometimes painful. What about a large 17 or 18G Tuohy needle? Although sophisticated methods may be helpful in some circumstances, we believe no device will ever replace good training in the ®eld of per...

Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can be used as a second opinion to the radiologists for diagnosis of breast cancer from mammogram images. In this paper, we have proposed preprocessing method to remove noise from mammogram images. Then, enhancement has been performed. After that, background has been removed. Finally, pectoral muscle separation has been performed. It has been noted that re...

Mammography is usually the first preference of imaging diagnostic modalities used for detection breast cancer in early stage. Two projections Cranio Caudal (CC) and Medio-Lateral Oblique (MLO) which depict different degrees visualizing are during digital mammogram acquisition MLO view shows more tissue Pectoral Muscle (PM) area when compared to CC view. Although, PM a criterion show proper posi...

Skeletal muscle fibers are surrounded by an extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is composed of glycoproteins, collagen, and proteoglycans. Proteoglycans have been suggested to play an important functional role in tissue differentiation; however, an understanding of how the extracellular matrix affects skeletal muscle development and function is largely unknown. Proteoglycans can regu...
