The efficient analysis of digital mammograms has an important role in the early detection of breast cancer and can lead to a higher percentage of recovery. This paper presents an extended computer-aided diagnosis system for the classification of mammograms into three classes (normal, benign and malignant). The performance of the system is evaluated for…
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…
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.…
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…
