Matlab Code to detect Tumors

Hello,

I have an undergraduate DSP project this term, at University of British Columbia. The scope of the project is to improve existing mammogram images, using numerous image processing methods, to make it easier for the tumors to be tected using some computer automated detection stystem.

However, I have been unsuccessful in finding such a system and I was wondering if anyone knows where to get such information to point me in the right dierection.

Thanks, Elvin

No offense, but some of the most brilliant researcher PhDs are out there working on this full time for multi-billion dollar firms. I wish you luck and think it's a good thing to research and have a background in, but I doubt that you're going to make any ground breaking discovery.

Quite. The organization I work for did research along those lines for a time, but we found it much much more productive to work with MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) instead.
