Fuzzy Techniques in Mammographic Image Processing

In this chapter we discuss fuzzy techniques for the detection and analysis of potential breast cancer lesions on mammograms. We show how fuzzy measurements can be performed on the images and how this information can be used in the different stages of the processing.
