In order to delineate those regions of interest (ROI-s) in mammograms, which appear to be prominent, a topographic representation called the iso-level contour map consisting of iso-level contours at multiple intensity levels and region segmentation based-thresholding have been proposed. The simulation results indicate that the computed boundary gives the detection rate of 99.5% accuracy.}, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {4}, year = {2010}, pages = {151 - 156}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3741}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/40}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 40, 2010}, }
