Sažetak
Mammography is one of the best examination procedures for early detection of breast cancer in screening programs. Due to the huge amount of mammographic images acquired in screening programs, aid of computers in the evaluation of mammographic images can be of great help for radiologists. Computer-aided detection algorithms can serve as a second reader and help radiologists to reveal breast abnormalities such as calcifications and masses, as well as subtle signs of breast cancer such as architectural distortion and bilateral asymmetry. Breast abnormalities are often indistinguishable from the surrounding tissue and are defined with wide range of features which makes computer-aided detection a challenging task. In this paper main issues in mammographic image analysis are pointed out and some of the developed algorithms for computer-aided detection of breast cancer are presented.
