Matab implementation and results of region growing segmentation using haralic texture features on mammogram mass segmentation

Abstract

In digital mammograms, accurate segmentation of tumor is very important stage; therefore we have chosen region based segmentation using haralic texture feature for our research. The main objective of this paper is to identify regions of interest and segment the tumors in digital mammograms. The segmented image is then analyzed for estimating tumor and the results are compared against previously known diagnosis of the radiologist. This paper shows the matlab implementation and experimental results of various stages in detecting and segmenting the tumor. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
