PurposeBreast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, which badly have an effect on women's physical and psychological health and even danger to life. Nowadays, mammography is considered as a fundamental criterion for medical practitioners to recognize breast cancer. Though, due to the intricate formation of mammogram images, it is reasonably hard for practitioners to spot breast cancer features.Design/methodology/approachBreast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, which badly have an effect on women's physical and psychological health and even danger to life. Nowadays, mammography is considered as a fundamental criterion for medical practitioners to recognize breast cancer. Though, due to the intricate formation of mammogram images, it is reasonably hard for practitioners to spot breast cancer features.FindingsThe performance analysis was done for both segmentation and classification. From the analysis, the accuracy of the proposed IAP-CSA-based fuzzy was 41.9% improved than the fuzzy classifier, 2.80% improved than PSO, WOA, and CSA, and 2.32% improved than GWO-based fuzzy classifiers. Additionally, the accuracy of the developed IAP-CSA-fuzzy was 9.54% better than NN, 35.8% better than SVM, and 41.9% better than the existing fuzzy classifier. Hence, it is concluded that the implemented breast cancer detection model was efficient in determining the normal, benign and malignant images.Originality/valueThis paper adopts the latest Improved Awareness Probability-based Crow Search Algorithm (IAP-CSA)-based Region growing and fuzzy classifier for enhancing the breast cancer detection of mammogram images, and this is the first work that utilizes this method.

The early detection, diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of breast cancer are challenginghealthcare problems. This study focuses on outlining the traditional and trending techniques used for breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and prediction, including trending noninvasive, nonionizing, and biomarker genetic techniques.In addition, a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) is introduced to classify benign and malignant tumors in mammograms. This CAD system involves three steps. First, the Region of Interest (ROI) that includesthe tumor is identified using a threshold-based method. Second, a deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) processes the ROI to extract relevant mammogram features. Finally, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to decode two classes of mammogram structures (i.e., Benign (B), and Malignant (M) nodules). The training processes and implementations were carried out using 2800 mammogram images taken from the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of DDSM (CBIS-DDSM). Results have shown that the accuracy of CNN-SVM system achieves 85.1% using AlexNet CNN. Comparison with related work shows the promise of the proposed CAD system

Image Segmentation Algorithm

Image segmentation is one of the most common procedures in medical imaging applications. It is also a very important task in breast cancer detection. Breast cancer detection procedure based on mammography can be divided into several stages. The first stage is the extraction of the region of interest from a breast image, followed by the identification of suspicious mass regions, their classification, and comparison with the existing image database. It is often the case that already existing image databases have large sets of data whose processing requires a lot of time, and thus the acceleration of each of the processing stages in breast cancer detection is a very important issue. In this paper, the implementation of the already existing algorithm for region-of-interest based image segmentation for mammogram images on High-Performance Reconfigurable Dataflow Computers (HPRDCs) is proposed. As a dataflow engine (DFE) of such HPRDC, Maxeler’s acceleration card is used. The experiments for examining the acceleration of that algorithm on the Reconfigurable Dataflow Computers (RDCs) are performed with two types of mammogram images with different resolutions. There were, also, several DFE configurations and each of them gave a different acceleration value of algorithm execution. Those acceleration values are presented and experimental results showed good acceleration.

Filtering Techniques

Breast cancer is a stand-out surrounded by the most widely perceived diseases and has a high rate of mortality around the world, significantly risking the health of the females. Among existing all modalities of medical scans, mammography is the most preferred modality for preliminary examination of breast cancer. To assist radiologist, a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is enhancing and important medical systems for mammographic lesion analysis. CAD is necessary to provide doctors, to improve detection quality of breast cancer. In mammogram images, micro-calcifications is one of the imperative sign for breast cancer detection. Mammographic medical scan may present unwanted noise and CAD systems are very sensitive to noise. So, pre-processing of medical images for any medical image analysis application like brain tumor detection, breast cancer detection, and interstitial lung disease classification is considered as an important step. The segmentation or classification accuracy is mainly depends upon the significant improved pre-processing process. Thus, in this work, different types of filtering techniques used for noise reduction in medical image processing are analyzed. The qualitative and quantitative results are examined on mini-MIAS mammogram image database. The effectiveness of filtering techniques is compared based on the different quantitative parameters and visual qualities of examined output.

Mammogram Images

The digital mammogram has developed as the standard screening approach for breast cancer detection and further defects in human breast tissue problem. Early detection is an efficient manner to decrease mortality in worldwide. In the past decades, several researchers implemented many methods to consistently identify the breast cancer by mammogram images. Those methods were employed to produce systems to support radiologists and physicians attain more accurate diagnosis. Accurate segmentation and classification of various tumors in the mammography plays a complex role in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. This paper defines the research on Breast Cancer Detection (BCD) methods which includes two major steps such as segmentation and classification. This research presented the different types of BCD methods with their main contributions. Additionally, it assists the researchers in the area of breast cancer detection by providing the basic knowledge and common understanding of the newest BCD methods.
