Computer-Aided Detection of Mammographic Masses Using Hybrid Region Growing Controlled by Multilevel Thresholding

Masses are one of the common signs of nonpalpable breast cancer visible in mammograms. However, due to its irregular and obscured margin, variability in size, and occlusion within dense breast tissue, a mass may be missed during screening. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for automatic det...
