Abstract
X-ray mammography has been proven to be the most effective method for the detection of early breast cancer. However, it means that a great number of mammograms, which is increasing year by year, has to be diagnosed by physicians. Therefore a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system, which can assist the physicians in visual reading of mammograms, is required intensively.
