Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most frequent cancerous diseases among women. Currently mammography (X-ray examination) is the most efficient method for early detection. A CAD system for detecting cancer-predicting masses in digitalized mammograms is presented in this paper. Two size classes were defined and different algorithms were used for small and large mass detection. The last processing step was a false mark filtering, based on the comparison of the two views of the same breast. The system was tested with 935 mammographic cases, each containing 4 images.
