An Overview of Mammogram Analysis

A mammogram is an X-ray image of the human breast. It is used for the detection and diagnosis of changes in breast tissues. Asymptomatic women may be encouraged to undergo screening mammography on a regular basis after reaching a certain age. In most cases, mammograms reveal information that could yield the detection of suspicious lesions by breast radiologists (BRs). Hopefully, the detection is achieved before the lesions have advanced to a late stage of cancer, which makes it difficult to cure.
