Pancreatic Tumor Detection Using Image Processing

Pancreatic Tumor is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. However, pancreatic cancer can be cured if it is detected at an early stage. In this paper, an attempt is made to detect pancreatic tumour from CT images. It uses image processing techniques and a basic classifier to detect the tumour. After the image pre-processed, minimum distance classifier is used to detect the tumorous area in the image. It is observed that the accuracy of detecting tumour is around 60%.
