Radiologist has difficulty in definition of benign and malignant tumors on the mammograms of younger women because they have dominated the glandular tissue. Breast cancer does not allocate against the background of adenosis. Therefore, an actual task is the using of information technologies for increase of reliability of the detection of a breast cancer and definition of localization of tumors. This article describes an algorithm detection of area of breast cancer on a mammogram with a predominance of glandular component, developed by the author together with the radiologist hospital at the station Murom of Russian Railways. This algorithm includes several blocks which is represented in the diagram. The article compared the existing algorithms and proposed by the author, showing its features. The results of experimental researches have shown expediency of using the developed algorithm to select the area of breast cancer on the background of mastopathy with a predominance of glandular component.
