Abstract:Cancer is one of the most dangerous life-threatening diseases. Out of all the different types of cancer, breast cancer is the most common which is mostly seen in women of age 30-60. According to breastcanceruk.org, every 1 in 8 women in the UK is affected by breast cancer. Even though a permanent antidote is yet to be found for breast cancer, it can be prevented with early detection. The certain clinical method is used for the identification of cancer. Our approach for detection of a cancer tumour is by using Image processing technique through MATLAB code for the detection of type of tumor and the situ of the tumour. In the code a mammogram image is taken as input, then we perform Otsu -thresholding method to separate the tumour part from the background. Then we apply the ANN to find the required parameters. Accuracy, Selectivity and Specificity can be obtained through the algorithm.
