Abstract

X-ray mammography is known as an efficient diagnosis method for detection of early stage breast cancers. The mammogram is a radiograph of the breast tissue and an effective non-invasive means of searching for breast cancers. Microcalcifications and masses are two main types of breast abnormalities. For the detection of breast cancer, the mass detection is more difficult than microcalcification detection due to the fact that masses are obscured by normal breast parenchyma. The radiologists have performed mammogram interpretation by visual examination of the films for the abnormalities that can be interpreted as cancerous lesions. However, the observational oversights of radiologists and a large number of mammograms to be examined make readings intensive, cost ineffective, and inaccurate. The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) will be useful to assist early diagnosis of breast cancers and to increase the diagnosis sensitivity of radiologists. The CAD system requires a multistage algorithm that includes detection and classification of suspicious lesions.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Research Background

System models are simple and abstract expressions of specific systems designed to predict the behavior of the systems in question. Examples of such models include airplane models used in wind tunnels to predict the drag load of airplanes, structural models used in civil engineering, and breadboards used to design circuits. As the physical expressions of actual models, these models are called physical models.
