Neural Networks for the Classification of Benign and Malignant Patterns in Digital Mammograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter presents neural network-based techniques for the classification of micro-calcification patterns in digital mammograms. Artificial neural network (ANN) applications in digital mammography are mainly focused on feature extraction, feature selection, and classification of micro-calcification patterns into ‘benign’ and ‘malignant’. An extensive review of neural network based techniques in digital mammography is presented. Recent developments such as auto-associators and evolutionary neural networks for feature extraction and selection are presented. Experimental results using ANN techniques on a benchmark database are described and analysed. Finally, a comparison of various neural network-based techniques is presented. INtrODUctION

SUBCLASS FUZZY-SVM CLASSIFIER AS AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO ENHANCE THE MASS DETECTION IN MAMMOGRAMS
This paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. In this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (ROI) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. The extracted features benefit from...

متن کاملA review of neural network detection methods for breast cancer: review article
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. The most common way to diagnose breast cancer is mammography. Mammography is a simple chest x-ray and a tool for early detection of non-palpable breast cancers and tumors. However, due to some limitations of this method such as low sensitivity especially in dense breasts, other method...
متن کاملCystoscopic Image Classification Based on Combining MLP and GA
In the past three decades, the use of smart methods in medical diagnostic systems has attracted the attention of many researchers. However, no smart activity has been provided in the field of medical image processing for diagnosis of bladder cancer through cystoscopy images despite the high prevalence in the world. In this paper, a multilayer neural network was applied to clas...
