Available information of the desired object contour is used, in this paper, for B-spline approximation. The mass region boundary (contour) is thereafter approximated by a B-spline curve. This approach allows synthesizing the shape of the suspected mass appearing in the mammogram. Experimental results show the accurateness of mass region contour in mammograms using B-spline approximation.
