In this work an efficient lifting scheme based on denoising for super resolution reconstruction of low resolution mammogram images is proposed. We have presented a way to improve the quality of x-ray mammography images without having to use more radiations, which increases health risks of patients. The results indicate that the proposed system can facilitate the doctor to detect breast cancer in early stage of diagnosis process. Early detection tests for breast cancer can save many thousands of lives, with super resolution reconstruction the cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated successfully. High resolution images give better visibility of the breast, particularly near the skin line, chest wall and in women with dense breast tissues.
