A Logic Filter for Tumor Detection on Mammograms

This paper presents a novel approach for detection of suspicious regions in digitized mammograms. The edges of the suspicious region in mammogram are enhanced using an improved logic filter. The result of further image processing gives a gray-level histogram with distinguished characteristics, which facilitates the segmentation of the suspicious masses. The experiment results based on 25 digital sample mammograms, which are definitely diagnosed, are analyzed and evaluated briefly
