Computer-aided diagnosis system plays an important role in diagnosis and detection of breast cancer. In computer-aided diagnosis, feature extraction is one of the important steps. In this paper, we have proposed a method based on curvelet transform to classify mammogram images as normal -abnormal, benign and malignant. The feature vector is computed from the approximation coefficients. Directional energy is also calculated for all sub-bands. To select the efficient feature we used t-test and f-test methods. The selected feature is applied to Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier for classification. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested on MIAS database. The performance measures are computed with respect to normal vs. abnormal and benign vs. malignant for using approximation subband and energy feature of all curvelet coefficients. The highest classification accuracy of 95.34% is achieved for normal vs. abnormal and 80.86% is achieved for benign vs malignant class using energy feature of all curvelet coefficients.

This study established a fully automated computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for the classification of malignant and benign masses via breast magnetic resonance imaging (BMRI). A breast segmentation method consisting of a preprocessing step to identify the air-breast interfacing boundary and curve fitting for chest wall line (CWL) segmentation was included in the proposed CAD system. The Chan-Vese (CV) model level set (LS) segmentation method was adopted to segment breast mass and demonstrated sufficiently good segmentation performance. The support vector machine (SVM) classifier with ReliefF feature selection was used to merge the extracted morphological and texture features into a classification score. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity measurements for the leave-half-case-out resampling method were 92.3%, 98.2%, and 76.2%, respectively. For the leave-one-case-out resampling method, the measurements were 90.0%, 98.7%, and 73.8%, respectively.
