The innovative approach consists of using the same algorithmic core for processing images to detect both microcalcifications and masses. Despite the advancement in the medical sciences cancer is claiming more than 50% of the people afflicted by it every year. Of all cancer incidence women around the world, the most commonly diagnosed type of non-skin cancer which results in death is Breast Cancer and this can be best detected by digital mammography. This paper includes the design and development of software expert system for real time mammogram image analysis. The system so designed would give the radiologist an idea about the exact shape and size of any tumor present in the breast. Radiologists however are unable to detect the cancerous growth when benign though it is detected in the mammograms due to varying criteria like dense flesh around the cancer or distractions due to neighboring features. This problem will be resolved by using Digital Image Processing techniques like Image Segmentation where the image will be segmented into similar regions by meaningfully assigning class labels to similar pixels in a region. Hence the cancerous growth will be detected in its early stage and the Radiologists will be able to do better diagnosis because Image Segmentation techniques are simple yet very effective. In this paper an innovative method is applied which consist mainly three steps. In the first step normalizes the regions in the breast images through uniform distribution of histogram equalization. In the second step fuzzy logic is applied to remove ambiguity in the misclassification region and in the third step a new Weight is applied to the previously extended OTSU method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
