ABSTRACT
One of the life-threatening diseases is breast cancer and it
refers to the malignancies that grow in breasts. It is the
most common type of cancer among middle aged women.
Even though, there is no guaranteed approach to prevent
 breast cancer, premature detection is the key to develop
 breast cancer treatment. Mammography is one of the most
successful diagnostic techniques for premature breast
cancer detection. It is a primary imaging technique for
identification and treatment of breast cancer. On the other
hand, in general the contrast of a mammogram image is
very low and it is affected with noises, in particular for
dense and glandular tissues. In these cases the radiologist
 possibly will miss certain diagnostically significant
microcalcifications. With the purpose of improving
diagnosis of cancer accurately at the premature stage,
image enhancement technology is often used which assist
in enhancing the image. Being the fact that these
mammograms are low contrast, blur and fuzzy, it is
extremely complicated to identify the microcalcifications.
Mammogram enhancement is necessary for the
enhancement of contrast features and to remove noise.
Proper image enhancement technique improves the
visibility of microcalcifications. The fundamental
requirement in mammogram enhancement is to enhance
its contrast. Several numbers of studies have been carried
out with the intention of enhancing the mammogram
images which are discussed in the literature.
Keywords---Digital Mammogram, Breast Cancer, Image
Enhancement, Microcalcifications, Contrast
Enhancement.
1.  INTRODUCTION
A malignant tumor developed from breast cells is called
 breast cancer. It is one of the most fatal diseases for
middle-aged women and it is one of the leading causes of
women mortality. One among eight women is affected
with this disease[1]. Premature detection is the best
 possible way to improve breast cancer diagnosis because
the causes of the disease are still indefinite. Premature
detection is the key solution for improving breast cancer
diagnosis.
tumors like microcalcifications, masses and stellate
lesions [2]. Based on the medical perspective, the most
 primitive symptom of breast cancer is the emergence of
microcalcifications. As a result, the detection of
microcalcification is a major part of diagnosis in early
stage breast cancer. On the other hand, microcalcification
is extremely small to identify. Mammography is known as
the best modality to identify microcalcification [3].
The tiny size of microcalcification results in unclear
visualization in mammograms. As a result, to provide the
enhanced visibility of breast cancer to physicians in
addition to automatic breast-cancer detection systems,
mammogram contrast should be enhanced [4]. In
mammograms, the size of microcalcification is almost
nearer to noise. In order to identify the breast cancer at
 premature stage, it is necessary to reduce the noise level at
the same time enhance the microcalcification area.
In recent past, mammographic interpretation was
supported by computer-based techniques which are
exploited either as visualization tools or as estimation
devices [5].
Imaging techniques play a significant role in helping
 perform digital mammogram, especially of abnormal
areas that cannot be felt but can be seen on a conventionalmammogram. Before any image-processing algorithm of
mammogram pre-processing steps are very important in
order to limit the search for abnormalities without undue
influence from background of the mammogram [6].
Image enhancement algorithms have been exploited for
the enhancement of contrast features and the removal of
noise. At first, contrast enhancement approaches have
exploited the convolution function or techniques such as
morphological, edge detection and band-pass filters [7, 8].
The enhancement approaches could be classified based on
the generalization of their parameters as global, local or
adaptive [9, 10].
The most significant objective of mammography is to
identify small, non-palpable cancers in its premature

diagnosis.
The success of diagnosis is completely based on the early
detection of the disease. At present Breast cancer
identification is carried out on mammograms by
radiologists by using a magnifying glass to observe
identify small, non-palpable cancers in its prematurestage. However, mammograms are complicated to
understand as the pathological transformations of the
 breast are subtle and their visibility is poor in low contrast
and noisy mammograms. With the purpose of increasing
the visibility of features several approaches for image
enhancement have been proposed which are discussed in
 
  Recent Science: International Journal of Cancer Research, ISSN:2051-784X, Vol.46, Issue.2 467
the literature. Contrast enhancement is a necessary
technical assistance in applications where human visual
 perception remains the most important approach to obtain
appropriate information from images.
The significant features of the mammogram images have
to be enhanced to obtain the information regarding the
unknown characteristics. Mainly, image enhancement
includes intensity and contrast manipulation, noise
reduction, background removal, edges sharpening,
filtering, etc. Mammogram enhancement approaches are
employed for increasing identification, characterization
efficiency and also as preprocessing stage. Several
 processing techniques for contrast enhancing in the region
of microcalcifications have been reported in the following
section.
2.  LITERATURE SURVEY
In breast cancer diagnosis, the radiologists mostly use
their eyes to separate cancer when they monitor the
mammograms. Still, in many cases, cancer is not simply
detected by the eyes because of the bad imaging situation.
In order to expand the exact study rate of cancer, image-
enhancement knowledge is often used to recover the
image and assist the radiologists. Jinshan Tang et al., [11]
developed a new image-enhancement technology in the
wavelet domain for radiologists to screen mammograms.
The original image-enhancement algorithm has some
compensation. First, the projected image-enhancement
skill modifies a multiscale assess which matches the
human vision method and thus the improved images have
 better visual quality; second, the image improvement is
competent in the wavelet area and therefore it preserve
time keeping if the image is solid by wavelet revise based
methods; third, the end users can accurate the
improvement by manipulating a single control.
Panetta et al., [12] introduced a new unsharp masking
(UM) scheme, called nonlinear UM (NLUM), for
mammogram enhancement. The NLUM offers the
suppleness 1) to entrench particular types of filters into
the nonlinear filtering operative; 2) to decide various
linear or nonlinear operations for the combination of
 processes that joins the better filtered sector of the
mammogram with the original mammogram; and 3) to let
the NLUM parameter collection to be performed
 physically or by using a quantitative development assess
to get the best enhancement parameters. The author
created an improvement assess advance, called the
second-derivative-like assess of improvement, which is
revealed to contain better presentation than additional
events in evaluating the visual quality of image
improvement. The relationship and valuation of
improvement.
Tang et al., [13] proposed a novel algorithm for
multidimensional image enhancement based on a fuzzy
domain enhancement method, and an implementation of a
recursive and separable low-pass filter. Allowing for a
curved image as a fuzzy data set, every pixel in an image
is processed separately, with fuzzy area alteration and
enhancement of both the lively sort and the limited gray
altitude variations. The algorithm has the reward of being
rapid and adaptive, so it can be used in real-time image
dispensation applications and for multidimensional data
with small computational cost. It also has the capability to
decrease noise and unnecessary conditions that may
involve the visualization superiority of two-dimensional
(2-D)/three-dimensional (3-D) data. Some of the examples
of the algorithm are given for mammograms, ultrasound
3-D images, and clear images.
Analytical features in mammograms differ extensively in
size and shape. Traditional image improvement
techniques cannot adjust to the unstable characteristics of
analytical features. An adaptive technique for enhancing
the contrast of mammographic features of varying size
and shape was presented by Morrow et al., [14]. The
technique uses every pixel in the image as a seed to
develop an area. The level and outline of the region adjust
to local image gray-level variations, matching to an image
feature. The variation of each region is designed with
respect to its entity conditions. Distinction is then
improved by applying a practical alteration based on
every region's germ pixel price, its compare, and its
conditions. A quantity of assessment of image compare
improvement is also clear based on a histogram of region
contrast and used for evaluation of results. Using
mammogram images digitized at high decision (less than
0.1 mm pixel size), it is revealed that the strength of
microcalcification clusters and anatomic details is greatly
improved in the processed images.
Singh et al., [15] proposed a novel set of metrics that
measure the quality of the image enhancement of
mammographic images in a computer-aided detection
framework aimed at automatically finding masses using
machine learning techniques. The methodology includes a
new method for the grouping of the metrics projected into
a single quantitative measure. The author evaluated
methodology on more than 150 images from the widely
offered digital database for monitoring mammograms.
The author showed that the quantitative actions help to
choose the finest suitable image improvement on a per
mammogram basis, which improves the value of
subsequent image segmentation much superior than using
the same improvement method for all mammograms.

improvement. The relationship and valuation of
improvement presentation reveal that the NLUM can
develop the disease diagnosis by enhancing the well
details in mammograms with no priori information of the
image contents. The human image method based image
rot is used for learning and image of mammogram
the same improvement method for all mammograms.
Wei Qian et al., [16] described an article about the
application of wavelet transform for image enhancement
in medical imaging. The first scientific application is the
improvement of microcalcification clusters (MCCs) in
 
  Recent Science: International Journal of Cancer Research, ISSN:2051-784X, Vol.46, Issue.2 468
digitized mammograms to get better in both the
visualization and the finding using computer assisted
diagnostic (CAD) methods. The possible widespread
function for improved visual interpretation of medical
images using a computer monitor is also demonstrated.
The early detection of MCCs is important in screening
 programs since their presence is often associated with a
high incidence of breast cancer. The improvement of
MCCs is an outstanding model for real world estimation
of the wavelet transform. The finding of MCCs presents
an important confront to the presentation characteristics of
X-ray imaging sensors and image present monitors ever
since microcalcifications vary in size, shape, signal
intensity, and contrast and may be situated in areas of very
solid parenchymal tissue, building the discovery difficult.
The categorization of MCCs, in turn, as kind or evil,
requires the morphology and detail to be sealed.
Heinlein et al., [17] presented a new algorithm for
enhancement of microcalcifications in mammograms. The
major innovation is the function of methods that have
urbanized for creation of filterbanks resulting from the
regular wavelet transform. These separate wavelet
decompositions, called incorporated wavelets, are
optimally intended for improvement of multiscale
structures in images. Moreover, a model based approach
is used to clean presented methods for common
improvement of mammograms resulting in a more exact
improvement of microcalcifications. The author proposed
results of the method and contrast them with standard
algorithms. Finally, it indicates how these techniques can
also be useful to the finding of microcalcifications.
Peripheral enhancement and tilt correction of unprocessed
digital mammograms was achieved by Snoeren et al., [18]
with a new reversible algorithm. This technique has two
major rewards for image visualization. (1) the displayed
active range can be comparatively small, and (2) alteration
of the overall luminance to examine information is not
necessary in most cases. The rectification is helpful for
 preprocessing in computer-aided discovery/analysis
algorithms. The technique is based on information of the
three-dimensional compacted breast shape to make equal
width by adding virtual tissue, which results in force
equalization for the mammographic image. Earlier
described methods completely guess the charitable of
width variations to image strength, frequently by
nonparametric methods. The projected technique provides
a worldwide parametric breast figure model, which is
 beneficial for image and CAD.
Mammograms are difficult to interpret, especially of
cancers at their early stages. Rangayyan et al., [19]
digitized with a high-resolution of about 4096×2048×10-
 bit pixels and then processed with the ANCE method.
Unrefined and refined digitized mammograms as well as
the new films were obtainable to six knowledgeable
radiologists for a receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
assessment for the hard case set and to three mention
radiologists for the period cancer set. The results explain
that the radiologists' presentation with the ANCE-
 processed images is the greatest amongst the three sets of
images (original, digitized, and enhanced) in conditions of
area under the ROC curve and that analytic sympathy is
enhanced by the ANCE algorithm. All of the 19 period
cancer cases not detected with the new films of previous
mammographic examinations were diagnosed as
malignant with the consequent ANCE-processed versions,
while only one of the six kind cases at first labeled
 properly with the original mammograms was interpreted
as malignant after improvement. This learning
demonstrates the possible for development of diagnostic
 presentation in early discovery of breast cancer with
digital image enhancement.
Unser et al., [20] presented an overview of the various
uses of the Wavelet Transform (WT) in medicine and
 biology. The author described the wavelet kinds that are
mostly significant for biomedical application. Above all it
 provides an accepting of the Continuous Wavelet
Transform (CWT) as a prewhitening multiscale
synchronized filter. It also in short specifies the
comparison among the WT and few of the organic
 processing that occurs in the early mechanism of the aural
and visual system. It then recorrects the uses of the WT
for the examination of 1-D physiological signals obtained
 by phonocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), mid
electroencephalography (EEG), as well as evoked reaction
 potentials. Next, it provides a review of wavelet
developments in remedial imaging. These contain
 biomedical image giving out algorithms (e.g., noise
reduction, image enhancement, and detection of
microcalcifications in mammograms), image rebuilding
and gaining schemes (tomography, and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI)), and multiresolution methods
for the register and statistical study of efficient images of
the brain (Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and
functional MRI (fMRI)). In each case, it provides the
reader with same common background information and a
 brief clarification of how the methods work.
Mammography is the well-organized method for the early
finding of breast diseases. On the other hand, the classic
analytic signs like microcalcifications and loads are hard
to distinguish because mammograms are low-contrast and

analyzed the effectiveness of Adaptive Neighborhood
Contrast Enhancement (ANCE) technique in increasing
the sensitivity of breast cancer diagnosis. Seventy-eight
screen-film mammograms of 21 hard cases (14 benign
and seven malignant), 222 screen-film mammograms of
28 period cancer patients and six kind organize cases were
noisy images. Mencattini et al., [21] proposed a novel
algorithm for image denoising and enhancement based on
dyadic wavelet processing. The denoising stage is based
on the limited iterative noise difference evaluation. In
addition, in the case of microcalcifications, the author
 proposed an adaptive change of improvement degree at

It is the most common type of cancer among middle aged women. Even though, there is no guaranteed approach to prevent  breast cancer, premature detection is the key to develop  breast cancer treatment. Mammography is one of the most successful diagnostic techniques for premature breast cancer detection. It is a primary imaging technique for identification and treatment of breast cancer. On the other hand, in general the contrast of a mammogram image is very low and it is affected with noises, in particular for dense and glandular tissues. In these cases the radiologist  possibly will miss certain diagnostically significant microcalcifications. With the purpose of improving diagnosis of cancer accurately at the premature stage, image enhancement technology is often used which assist in enhancing the image. Being the fact that these mammograms are low contrast, blur and fuzzy, it is extremely complicated to identify the microcalcifications. Mammogram enhancement is necessary for the enhancement of contrast features and to remove noise. Proper image enhancement technique improves the visibility of microcalcifications. The fundamental requirement in mammogram enhancement is to enhance its contrast. Several numbers of studies have been carried out with the intention of enhancing the mammogram images which are discussed in the literature. Keywords---Digital Mammogram, Breast Cancer, Image Enhancement, Microcalcifications, Contrast Enhancement. 1.  INTRODUCTION A malignant tumor developed from breast cells is called  breast cancer. It is one of the most fatal diseases for middle-aged women and it is one of the leading causes of women mortality. One among eight women is affected with this disease[1]. Premature detection is the best  possible way to improve breast cancer diagnosis because the causes of the disease are still indefinite. Premature detection is the key solution for improving breast cancer diagnosis. tumors like microcalcifications, masses and stellate lesions [2]. Based on the medical perspective, the most  primitive symptom of breast cancer is the emergence of microcalcifications. As a result, the detection of microcalcification is a major part of diagnosis in early stage breast cancer. On the other hand, microcalcification is extremely small to identify. Mammography is known as the best modality to identify microcalcification [3]. The tiny size of microcalcification results in unclear visualization in mammograms. As a result, to provide the enhanced visibility of breast cancer to physicians in addition to automatic breast-cancer detection systems, mammogram contrast should be enhanced [4]. In mammograms, the size of microcalcification is almost nearer to noise. In order to identify the breast cancer at  premature stage, it is necessary to reduce the noise level at the same time enhance the microcalcification area. In recent past, mammographic interpretation was supported by computer-based techniques which are exploited either as visualization tools or as estimation devices [5]. Imaging techniques play a significant role in helping  perform digital mammogram, especially of abnormal areas that cannot be felt but can be seen on a conventionalmammogram. Before any image-processing algorithm of mammogram pre-processing steps are very important in order to limit the search for abnormalities without undue influence from background of the mammogram [6]. Image enhancement algorithms have been exploited for the enhancement of contrast features and the removal of noise. At first, contrast enhancement approaches have exploited the convolution function or techniques such as morphological, edge detection and band-pass filters [7, 8]. The enhancement approaches could be classified based on the generalization of their parameters as global, local or adaptive [9, 10]. The most significant objective of mammography is to identify small, non-palpable cancers in its premature saradha Arumugam  213     Info Download   Uploaded by PDF 

The success of diagnosis is completely based on the early detection of the disease. At present Breast cancer identification is carried out on mammograms by radiologists by using a magnifying glass to observe identify small, non-palpable cancers in its prematurestage. However, mammograms are complicated to understand as the pathological transformations of the  breast are subtle and their visibility is poor in low contrast and noisy mammograms. With the purpose of increasing the visibility of features several approaches for image enhancement have been proposed which are discussed in     Recent Science: International Journal of Cancer Research, ISSN:2051-784X, Vol.46, Issue.2 467 the literature. Contrast enhancement is a necessary technical assistance in applications where human visual  perception remains the most important approach to obtain appropriate information from images. The significant features of the mammogram images have to be enhanced to obtain the information regarding the unknown characteristics. Mainly, image enhancement includes intensity and contrast manipulation, noise reduction, background removal, edges sharpening, filtering, etc. Mammogram enhancement approaches are employed for increasing identification, characterization efficiency and also as preprocessing stage. Several  processing techniques for contrast enhancing in the region of microcalcifications have been reported in the following section. 2.  LITERATURE SURVEY In breast cancer diagnosis, the radiologists mostly use their eyes to separate cancer when they monitor the mammograms. Still, in many cases, cancer is not simply detected by the eyes because of the bad imaging situation. In order to expand the exact study rate of cancer, image- enhancement knowledge is often used to recover the image and assist the radiologists. Jinshan Tang et al., [11] developed a new image-enhancement technology in the wavelet domain for radiologists to screen mammograms. The original image-enhancement algorithm has some compensation. First, the projected image-enhancement skill modifies a multiscale assess which matches the human vision method and thus the improved images have  better visual quality; second, the image improvement is competent in the wavelet area and therefore it preserve time keeping if the image is solid by wavelet revise based methods; third, the end users can accurate the improvement by manipulating a single control. Panetta et al., [12] introduced a new unsharp masking (UM) scheme, called nonlinear UM (NLUM), for mammogram enhancement. The NLUM offers the suppleness 1) to entrench particular types of filters into the nonlinear filtering operative; 2) to decide various linear or nonlinear operations for the combination of  processes that joins the better filtered sector of the mammogram with the original mammogram; and 3) to let the NLUM parameter collection to be performed  physically or by using a quantitative development assess to get the best enhancement parameters. The author created an improvement assess advance, called the second-derivative-like assess of improvement, which is revealed to contain better presentation than additional events in evaluating the visual quality of image improvement. The relationship and valuation of improvement. Tang et al., [13] proposed a novel algorithm for multidimensional image enhancement based on a fuzzy domain enhancement method, and an implementation of a recursive and separable low-pass filter. Allowing for a curved image as a fuzzy data set, every pixel in an image is processed separately, with fuzzy area alteration and enhancement of both the lively sort and the limited gray altitude variations. The algorithm has the reward of being rapid and adaptive, so it can be used in real-time image dispensation applications and for multidimensional data with small computational cost. It also has the capability to decrease noise and unnecessary conditions that may involve the visualization superiority of two-dimensional (2-D)/three-dimensional (3-D) data. Some of the examples of the algorithm are given for mammograms, ultrasound 3-D images, and clear images. Analytical features in mammograms differ extensively in size and shape. Traditional image improvement techniques cannot adjust to the unstable characteristics of analytical features. An adaptive technique for enhancing the contrast of mammographic features of varying size and shape was presented by Morrow et al., [14]. The technique uses every pixel in the image as a seed to develop an area. The level and outline of the region adjust to local image gray-level variations, matching to an image feature. The variation of each region is designed with respect to its entity conditions. Distinction is then improved by applying a practical alteration based on every region's germ pixel price, its compare, and its conditions. A quantity of assessment of image compare improvement is also clear based on a histogram of region contrast and used for evaluation of results. Using mammogram images digitized at high decision (less than 0.1 mm pixel size), it is revealed that the strength of microcalcification clusters and anatomic details is greatly improved in the processed images. Singh et al., [15] proposed a novel set of metrics that measure the quality of the image enhancement of mammographic images in a computer-aided detection framework aimed at automatically finding masses using machine learning techniques. The methodology includes a new method for the grouping of the metrics projected into a single quantitative measure. The author evaluated methodology on more than 150 images from the widely offered digital database for monitoring mammograms. The author showed that the quantitative actions help to choose the finest suitable image improvement on a per mammogram basis, which improves the value of subsequent image segmentation much superior than using the same improvement method for all mammograms.

The relationship and valuation of improvement presentation reveal that the NLUM can develop the disease diagnosis by enhancing the well details in mammograms with no priori information of the image contents. The human image method based image rot is used for learning and image of mammogram the same improvement method for all mammograms. Wei Qian et al., [16] described an article about the application of wavelet transform for image enhancement in medical imaging. The first scientific application is the improvement of microcalcification clusters (MCCs) in     Recent Science: International Journal of Cancer Research, ISSN:2051-784X, Vol.46, Issue.2 468 digitized mammograms to get better in both the visualization and the finding using computer assisted diagnostic (CAD) methods. The possible widespread function for improved visual interpretation of medical images using a computer monitor is also demonstrated. The early detection of MCCs is important in screening  programs since their presence is often associated with a high incidence of breast cancer. The improvement of MCCs is an outstanding model for real world estimation of the wavelet transform. The finding of MCCs presents an important confront to the presentation characteristics of X-ray imaging sensors and image present monitors ever since microcalcifications vary in size, shape, signal intensity, and contrast and may be situated in areas of very solid parenchymal tissue, building the discovery difficult. The categorization of MCCs, in turn, as kind or evil, requires the morphology and detail to be sealed. Heinlein et al., [17] presented a new algorithm for enhancement of microcalcifications in mammograms. The major innovation is the function of methods that have urbanized for creation of filterbanks resulting from the regular wavelet transform. These separate wavelet decompositions, called incorporated wavelets, are optimally intended for improvement of multiscale structures in images. Moreover, a model based approach is used to clean presented methods for common improvement of mammograms resulting in a more exact improvement of microcalcifications. The author proposed results of the method and contrast them with standard algorithms. Finally, it indicates how these techniques can also be useful to the finding of microcalcifications. Peripheral enhancement and tilt correction of unprocessed digital mammograms was achieved by Snoeren et al., [18] with a new reversible algorithm. This technique has two major rewards for image visualization. (1) the displayed active range can be comparatively small, and (2) alteration of the overall luminance to examine information is not necessary in most cases. The rectification is helpful for  preprocessing in computer-aided discovery/analysis algorithms. The technique is based on information of the three-dimensional compacted breast shape to make equal width by adding virtual tissue, which results in force equalization for the mammographic image. Earlier described methods completely guess the charitable of width variations to image strength, frequently by nonparametric methods. The projected technique provides a worldwide parametric breast figure model, which is  beneficial for image and CAD. Mammograms are difficult to interpret, especially of cancers at their early stages. Rangayyan et al., [19] digitized with a high-resolution of about 4096×2048×10-  bit pixels and then processed with the ANCE method. Unrefined and refined digitized mammograms as well as the new films were obtainable to six knowledgeable radiologists for a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) assessment for the hard case set and to three mention radiologists for the period cancer set. The results explain that the radiologists' presentation with the ANCE-  processed images is the greatest amongst the three sets of images (original, digitized, and enhanced) in conditions of area under the ROC curve and that analytic sympathy is enhanced by the ANCE algorithm. All of the 19 period cancer cases not detected with the new films of previous mammographic examinations were diagnosed as malignant with the consequent ANCE-processed versions, while only one of the six kind cases at first labeled  properly with the original mammograms was interpreted as malignant after improvement. This learning demonstrates the possible for development of diagnostic  presentation in early discovery of breast cancer with digital image enhancement. Unser et al., [20] presented an overview of the various uses of the Wavelet Transform (WT) in medicine and  biology. The author described the wavelet kinds that are mostly significant for biomedical application. Above all it  provides an accepting of the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) as a prewhitening multiscale synchronized filter. It also in short specifies the comparison among the WT and few of the organic  processing that occurs in the early mechanism of the aural and visual system. It then recorrects the uses of the WT for the examination of 1-D physiological signals obtained  by phonocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), mid electroencephalography (EEG), as well as evoked reaction  potentials. Next, it provides a review of wavelet developments in remedial imaging. These contain  biomedical image giving out algorithms (e.g., noise reduction, image enhancement, and detection of microcalcifications in mammograms), image rebuilding and gaining schemes (tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)), and multiresolution methods for the register and statistical study of efficient images of the brain (Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and functional MRI (fMRI)). In each case, it provides the reader with same common background information and a  brief clarification of how the methods work. Mammography is the well-organized method for the early finding of breast diseases. On the other hand, the classic analytic signs like microcalcifications and loads are hard to distinguish because mammograms are low-contrast and

Seventy-eight screen-film mammograms of 21 hard cases (14 benign and seven malignant), 222 screen-film mammograms of 28 period cancer patients and six kind organize cases were noisy images. Mencattini et al., [21] proposed a novel algorithm for image denoising and enhancement based on dyadic wavelet processing. The denoising stage is based on the limited iterative noise difference evaluation. In addition, in the case of microcalcifications, the author  proposed an adaptive change of improvement degree at
