Abstract
Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer related death worldwide. Screening for breast cancer is achieved using mammography. In this research, we propose a web-based training system for remote access mammography in order to train the radiologists for improving their skills and experiences in interpretation of mammograms, so as to reduce the misdiagnosis. At this stage, we have developed a software viewing tool, called Viewer that allows user to teach themselves by displaying the images on it and drawing the overlay on images.
