Abstract : Now a day’s image processing technique are very exigent and extensively used in charitable medical area for Ovarian cancer remains a significant health challenge due to its often-asymptomatic nature and late-stage diagnosis. Early detection and precise identification are crucial for improving patient outcomes. This paper presents a novel approach for ovarian cancer detection and identification through the application of Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, an advanced unsupervised machine learning technique. FCM clustering leverages fuzzy logic to handle uncertainty and variability in medical imaging data, providing a robust framework for differentiating between malignant and benign ovarian lesions. The proposed method involves preprocessing of ovarian ultrasound images to enhance feature extraction, followed by the application of FCM clustering to categorize the image pixels into distinct clusters representing various tissue types. The performance of the FCM-based approach is evaluated against conventional image processing and classification techniques, demonstrating improved accuracy and robustness in identifying cancerous regions. The results indicate that FCM clustering offers a promising tool for enhancing the early detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer, potentially leading to more effective treatment strategies and better patient prognoses.
