Abstract

We propose an algorithm for automatic, accurate detection of the nipple location on digitized mammograms. The nipple is the principal anatomical landmark on the breast. The proposed algorithm segments the "fat-band" present in the breast edge. The location of the nipple is detected from the curvature of the outline of this band.
