Abstract—Mammographic mass detection is an important task for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. In this paper we proposed a method for the detection of masses and calcifications based on wavelet transforms using digital mammography. In digital mammography the breast image is captured using a special electronic X-ray detector which converts the image into digital mammograms. The results show that the proposed detection scheme achieves greater detection performance compared to conventional methods.
Index Terms—Breast cancer, mass detection, digital mammography, microcalcification.
