Efficient mammographie mass segmentation techniques: A review

Breast cancer is one of the common cause of mortality among women. For the early detection of breast cancer and other breast diseases a low dose x-ray imaging technique was introduced called mammography. However mammographic image analysis is extremely challenging. Computer Aided Diagnosis system is then considered as a second reader of the mammographic images in order to accurately predict the mammographic lesions. A Computer Aided Diagnosis system act as an intermediate between radiologist and an input image. New technologies are now emerging in the pitch of image processing especially in image segmentation. The segmentation is a process in which changing the representation of an image such that it is more easier to analyse. This paper compare various mass segmentation techniques used in mammogram images.
