Purpose. The objective of this study is to investigate the use of texture analysis (TA) of magnetic resonance image (MRI) enhanced scan and machine learning methods for distinguishing different grades in breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Preoperative prediction of the grade of IDC can provide reference for different clinical treatments, so it has important practice values in clinic. Methods. Firstly, a breast cancer segmentation model based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and K-means algorithm is proposed. Secondly, TA was performed and the Gabor wavelet analysis is used to extract the texture feature of an MRI tumor. Then, according to the distance relationship between the features, key features are sorted and feature subsets are selected. Finally, the feature subset is classified by using a support vector machine and adjusted parameters to achieve the best classification effect. Results. By selecting key features for classification prediction, the classification accuracy of the classification model can reach 81.33%. 3-, 4-, and 5-fold cross-validation of the prediction accuracy of the support vector machine model is 77.79%~81.94%. Conclusion. The pathological grading of IDC can be predicted and evaluated by texture analysis and feature extraction of breast tumors. This method can provide much valuable information for doctors’ clinical diagnosis. With further development, the model demonstrates high potential for practical clinical use.
