On the use of multi–objective evolutionary classifiers for breast cancer detection (2022)

Purpose Breast cancer is one of the most common tumours in women, nevertheless, it is also one of the cancers that is most usually treated. As a result, early detection is critical, which can be accomplished by routine mammograms. This paper aims to describe, analyze, compare and evaluate three image descriptors involved in classifying…

The Impact of Convolutional Neural Network Parameters in the Binary Classification of Mammograms (2022)

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer. It is essential to classify patients as quickly as possible into groups with a high or low risk of cancer, to provide adequate treatment. This paper aims to address the impact of the parameters of convolutional neural networks in the binary classification of mammograms.…

An Unsupervised Threshold-based GrowCut Algorithm for Mammography Lesion Detection (2022)

Breast cancer causes numerous deaths worldwide; yet the numbers have decreased in the past years as a result of computer-aided diagnosis and proper treatment. The current paper is addressed to the base of such diagnosis system: pre-processing and segmentation. After a robust pre-processing, an unsupervised version of GrowCut is applied to define the location…
