MASS DETECTION IN MAMMOGRAMS COMBINING TWO METHODS

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women. Currently mammography (X-ray examination of the breast) is the most efficient method for early detection. Two independently developed methods for detecting cancer-indicating masses in mammograms are presented in this paper. The first method is based on pixel intensities, the second one on texture features. The possible combinations of the two different approaches are investigated to achieve better mass detection rate with less false warnings. The composite system was tested with 523 mammographic cases, each containing 4 images.
