Abstract

Breast cancer is the most life-threatening disease among women. The best way to decrease the mortality is early detection of cancer from digital mammogram. The diagnosis can be successful if the pre-processing and segmentation of the digital mammograms identifies the suspicious area correctly. In this paper, the Butterworth bandpass filter along with fusion of FCM and K-means clustering followed by morphological operations is used for the segmentation of calcification areas from the mammogram images.
