Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women all over the world. Since the cause of the disease remains unknown, early detection and diagnosis is the key for breast cancer control, and it can increase the success of treatment, save lives and reduce cost. Ultrasound imaging is one of the most frequently used diagnosis tools to detect and classify abnormalities of the breast. In order to eliminate the operator dependency and improve the diagnostic accuracy, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system is a valuable and beneficial means for breast cancer detection and classification. Generally, a CAD system consists of four stages: preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and selection, and classification. In this paper, the approaches used in these stages are summarized and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The performance evaluation of CAD system is investigated as well.
