In this paper a novel approach for the detection of breast cancer is used. Many imaging techniques are introduced for the breast cancer diagnosis. In this ant colony optimization (ACO) based edge detection technique is used for the diagnosing of breast cancer. This process is used to detect outlines of an object and boundaries between objects present and the background in the image. Experimental result gives the better performance of the proposed method than other techniques.
