Registration and Detection Algorithms for Bilateral Asymmetry in Digital Mammogram Images – A Survey

Among the women population, the most dreadful disease identified in a survey, is breast cancer. Digital Mammography is a screening technique used to detect this dreadful disease. Among the four main symptoms of breast cancer, bilateral asymmetry is one of the main abnormalities that must be detected at an early stage. Many algorithms indicate the presence of this symptom from the suspicious regions of digital mammogram images. This paper presents a survey on the detection algorithms used for bilateral asymmetry.
