Abstract:
This study was carried out in order to enhance the quality of
mammography image using image processing technique. The technique
of processing image performed using IDL software as platform. The
images were collected from a different Centers from 40 females
patients. The intensity improvement was measure in low and high
intensity areas before and after the enhancement. The result showed that
there is an increased in the amount intensity after enhancement for low
intensity area was 39.7±21.6 and after enhancement was 63.8±28.2 and
for high intensity area before enhancement was 161.6±27.5 and after
enhancement was 200.6±23.8. The noise which is represented by
standard deviation it shows slight increases after enhancement which
record 2.3±1.0 and 4.1±2.1 respectively in the low intensity region.
Similar results achived in the high intesity region after enhancement
4.0±2.7 and 7.0±7.6 respectively. The signal of the image also increased
after enhancement in the low intensity regions in average from
1429.5±776.7 to 2297.3±1016.2 and for the high intensity regions inaverage from 5816.1±989.5 to 7222.8±855.1. the signal to nosie also
arbitrary increased after enhacement in low and high intensity regions
from 736.6±536.5 to 697.7±455.7 and from 1978.1±997.5 to
2964.1±3108.7 respetively.
