This article presents an automatic mass extraction approach by application of a novel region growing algorithm. The region-growing process is guided by regional features analysis consequently; the result will be a robust algorithm able of respecting various image characteristics. The evaluation of the proposed approach was carried out on all MiniMIAS database mammograms containing circumscribed lesions. All masses from various characters of background tissues are well detected.
