Abstract: This paper proposes a technology of computer diagnosis of tumors in mammary gland of three main types: cyst, fibroadenoma, and breast cancer. It is noted that the use of such technology in the health care setting reduces the chance of missing a tumor when viewing mammograms, are at an early stage of development, but also minimizes the subjectivity of diagnosis. Work on a set of technologies studied real mammograms from MIAS database with known diagnoses. The results of experiments that show the possibility of using the developed based on this technology integrated cabinet in mammography as for general research and well as for screening.

Keywords: image processing, preprocessing, texture analysis, diagnosis, mammograms, tumor, cyst, fibroadenoma, breast cancer.
