In this chapter, we focus on the third type of Telemedicine, which is Teleradiology. We propose an integrated teleradiology system, which is applied for breast cancer mammography images. This is because Breast cancer recent statistics shows that it is one of the major causes of death among women. Moreover, Mammography is the main test used for screening and early diagnosis, where the micro-calcifications appear in small clusters of few pixels with relatively high intensity compared with their neighboring pixels [5]. Also, S.Shaheb et el. [6] uses fuzzy logic for mammogram image segmentation.

In order to increase physicians’ diagnostic performance, many researchers and companies introduce Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) [7], which is a flexible paradigm for telemedicine phases development and computing.

In this paper, we introduce an integrated teleradiology system for breast cancer diagnosis. It is based on SOA and mammogram images compression, enhancement and fuzzy C-mean mammogram segmentation. The coming sections explain each module in details.

The rest of this chapter is organized as follows, In section 2, we present a brief background and related work. We propose our system architecture in section 3 and in section 4 the telemedicine system modules are presented. Results and discussion are given in section 5. Finally, conclusion and future work are given in section 6.
