Analyzing the Impact of Data Augmentation on Tumor Detection and Classification in Mammograms (2025)

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality among women worldwide, making early detection crucial for improving survival rates. Deep learning-based approaches have shown remarkable potential in automating tumor detection from mammographic images; however, their effectiveness largely depends on the choice of data augmentation strategies and model architecture. In this study, we…

Preprocessing Techniques for Optimizing Mammograms Segmentation: a Cellular Automaton Approach (2025)

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, with early detection playing an essential role in improving survival rates. Detection of breast abnormalities at an early stage is best performed using mammography. This paper presents a new approach integrating advanced preprocessing techniques based on Cellular Automaton. It was applied on the…

Significance of Training Images and Feature Extraction in Lesion Classification (2024)

Proper treatment of breast cancer is essential to increase survival rates. Mammography is a widely used, non-invasive screening method for breast cancer. A challenging task in mammogram analysis is to distinguish between tumors. In the current study, we address this problem using different feature extraction and classification methods. In the literature, numerous feature extraction…

Generalizing an Improved GrowCut Algorithm for Mammography Lesion Detection (2023)

In the past five years, 7.8 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is curable if it is discovered in early stages. Therefore, mammography screening is essential. But, since interpretation can prove difficult, various automated interpretation systems have been proposed so far. A crucial step of the interpretation process is segmentation: identifying…

Linear Discriminant Analysis Tumour Classification for Unsupervised Segmented Mammographies (2023)

Between 2015 and 2020, 7.8 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. If the cancer is discovered early, it can be completely cured. Computer-aided detection and diagnosis systems are a helpful tool. We propose such a system: after pre-processing the mammography, the region of interest is identified using an unsupervised manner. Textural features are…

Extended Mammogram Classification From Textural Features (2023)

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…

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.…
