Fully Automated Nipple Detection in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

Breast cancer makes up 23% of all existing cancer cases, and has the highest incidence rate in women. It also has a high mortality rate, followed by lung and bronchus cancers [1]. Early screening, which is the search for cancer before the patient shows any physical symptoms, assists in early-stage cancer detection. Detecting cancer or abnormal tissue during the early stages can make treatment easier and increase the survival rate of the patient. Early screening can be critical because the expression of symptoms indicates that the cancer is spreading [2].
