Mammography is currently used to screen women in targeted risk classes for breast cancer. Computer assisted diagnosis of mammograms attempts to lower the workload on radiologists by either automating some of their tasks or acting as a second reader. The task of mammogram segmentation based on pixel intensity is addressed in this thesis. The mammographic process leads to images where intensity i...

Filtering is Prime important processes in Medical Image processing applications. Any post processing process aims in the removal of unwanted noise which usually corrupts the image quality and perception. This research paper focuses on searching effective De noising filters for post processing of Fractal compressed Images on Medical Images like CT of Bone , MR Images of Brain ,Mammograms, Ultras...

AIM This pilot study investigates whether heterogeneity in focal breast lesions and surrounding tissue assessed on mammography is potentially related to cancer invasion and hormone receptor status. MATERIALS AND METHODS Texture analysis (TA) assessed the heterogeneity of focal lesions and their surrounding tissues in digitized mammograms from 11 patients randomly selected from an imaging arch...

Mammograms are essential radiological images used to diagnose breast cancer well in advance. However, an accurate diagnosis also depends on the quality of mammogram images. Therefore, removal artefacts and enhancement necessary pre-processing steps. Artefact helps exclude unsolicited regions mammograms limits search for suspicious without excessive impact from background. Mammogram enhancements...

Mammograms are used to screen for breast cancer and computerized analysis of these images can aid radiologists in detecting the disease. Any computerized method to analyze digitized mammograms must first partition the image into its visually and anatomically distinct regions. The pectoral muscle appears on mediolateral oblique views of mammograms and needs to be identified and segmented out bef...

In mammography the presence of subtle abnormalities such as stellate patterns and architectual distortions indicates possible malignancy. Radiologists do not always detect these abnormalities in screening mammograms; this has led to interest in computer–aided mammographic interpretation where the radiologist is presented with computer–generated ’prompts’ for abnormalities. A first step in this ...

Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases diagnosed among female cancer patients. Early detection of breast cancer is needed to reduce the risk of fatality of this disease as no cure has been found yet for this illness. This research is conducted to improve the Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) Snake Active Contour segmentation technique in mammography segmentation. Segmentation of the mammogra...

Real-time nonlinear optical Fourier filtering for medical image processing is demonstrated, exploiting light modulating characteristics of thin films of the biophotonic material bacteriorhodopsin (bR). The nonlinear transmission of bR films for a 442 nm probe beam with a 568 nm control beam and vice versa is experimentally studied in detail. The spatial frequency information carried by the blue...
