Abstract

The breast cancer is absolutely life intimidating and dreadful disease. The primary screening of breast tumor is still under research because of some risk features such as gene, taking birth control fills, smoking, obesity and Age are playing vital role spreading the cancers. The malignant tumors that induct into the breast cells and eventually this tumor extends to the surrounding tissues. The proposed technique consists of four steps. Step1 is for digitized noises removal, step2 is for suppression of radio opaque artifacts, step3 is for Pectoral Muscle removal and step4 is for detecting location of cancer on breast for emphasizing the region of breast profile. To reveal the capability of this technique two separate digital mammograms are tested using GT( Ground Truth) mammograms for assessment of performance characteristics. The Experimental results indicate that the breast cancer regions are extracted truthfully in compliance to respective Ground Truth Images.
