Abstract
Imaging techniques can play an important role in helping perform breast biopsies, especially of abnormal areas. In this paper we try to identify cancer parts just using simple technique of isolation of insignificant portion of slide by color polarization. Here an attempt is made to analyze the biopsy slides for identification and detection of the area of affected cancer. In the era computer and telecommunications, pathologist’s still mount tissue slices on glass slides, treat them with appropriate stains and examine them through a microscope. Despite advances in staining techniques, it’s a process that has changed little over the last twenty years. Interpreting requires a great deal of skill and experience and it is also time consuming.
