Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in women worldwide. Early detection of breast cancer can lead to better treatment and decrease in mortality. Mammogram image in medical technology, made it easier to analyze breast cancer. Mammography exam is a specialized imaging technique in medical to scan breast which results in mammogram image. Detecting breast cancer earlier, a patient can have several treatment options and also can save live. Early detection of breast cancer can leads to survive 93 percent or greater in the initial five years. This paper proposes a brseast cancer detection method from mammogram image sample by applying morphological operation on gray image rather than binary. Firstly, image is sent for gamma correction. Then it is converted to gray and applied morphological dilation. Again morphological opening operation is formed on the dilated image. Output of dilated and opening operation is then binarized. An AND operation is performed between both binary images. Some post processing like- small area filtering and hole filling task is took place. Then common unwanted object is removed. Finally rest of the region is the desired cancer infected region. Achieved performance is acceptable and satisfactory through the proposed method.
