| Abstract | Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Findings show that early detection of breast cancer can improve survival rate. Mammography is the standard method of diagnosing breast cancer; but Infrared Breast thermography is an imaging technique that provides information based on the temperature changes in breast. This information is precancerous alarms that may lead to tumor. Thermography helps to detect cancer in its early stages, thus survival is possible. Thermal or Infrared radiations emitted from human body are higher around the regions where an tumour is present essentially due to increased cell activity. The thermal information can be shown in a pseudo coloured image where each colour represents a specific range of temperature. Clinical interpretation of breast thermogram is primarily based on colour analysis of the heat patterns visually and subjectively. This study endeavours to present analysis of breast thermogram based on segmentation of region of interest which is extracted a hot region followed by color analysis. The shape, size and borders of the hottest regions of the images can help to determine features which are used to detect abnormalities. The abnormality of breast thermograms is indicated by these features and it is confirmed by comparing with doctors diagnosis. Hence suitability of infrared thermography as a diagnostic tool in breast cancer detection is establihed through this study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
