English Abstract

Mammography is the available examination for theearly detectionof signs of breast cancer such as masses, calcifications, bilateral asymmetry and architectural distortion.

Because of the limitation of human observers, computers have a major role in detecting early signs of cancer.

Thewide range of features that defineabnormalities and the fact that they are often indistinguishable from the surrounding tissue make the computer-aided and diagnosis of breast abnormalities a challenge.

This thesis explores ways of using known image processing and machine learning techniques for computer-aided breast cancer detection using mammogram images,with the aim of finding a potentially good method for computer-aided breast cancer detection based on mammogram images, and helps pathologist in decision making.

A concrete application is designed and implemented, including both initial image processing and subsequent cancer detection through the use of machine learning algorithms based on neural networks and logistic regression.

The application isevaluated on a set of mammogram images and the results are presented in detail and discussed.

This thesis is distinguished in using a combination of neural networks and logistic regression in breast cancer detection, as well as the use of real breast cancer images obtained in cooperation with King Hussein Cancer Center.
