Abstract
X-ray Mammography has been a common technique of breast cancer identification. A single X-ray mammogram will not be able to convey full information about cancer to the radiologist. In this, an image fusion using Weighted Average SWT is proposed and histogram equalization is performed to enhance the quality of the fused X-ray mammogram. The resultant X-ray mammogram is same as conventional X-ray mammogram but with appreciably superior detail and is then reconstructed by using its inverse transform. This fused X-ray mammogram is well-suited for clinical settings and equips the radiologist to use lifetime diagnosis experience in X-ray mammography.
