The Computer-Aided Diagnostic (CAD) system is an important tool that helps radiologists to provide a second opinion for the early detection of breast cancer and therefore, aids to reduce the mortality rates. In this work, we try to develop a new (CAD) system to classify mammograms into benign or malignant. The proposed system consists of three main steps. The preprocessing stage consists of noise filtering, elimination of unwanted objects and suppressing the pectoral muscle. The Seeded Region Growing (SRG) segmentation technique is applied in a triangular region that contains the pectoral muscle to localize it and extract the region of interest (ROI). The features extraction step is performed by applying the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to each obtained ROI, and the most discriminating coefficients are selected using the discrimination power analysis (DPA) method. Finally, the classification is carried out by the support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural networks (ANN), random forest (RF) and Naive Bayes (NB) classifiers. The evaluation of the proposed system on the mini-MIAS database shows its effectiveness compared to other recently published CAD systems, and a classification accuracy of about 99.41% with the SVM classifier was obtained.

It is important to detect breast cancer as early as possible. In this manuscript, a new methodology for classifying breast cancer using deep learning and some segmentation techniques are introduced. A new computer aided detection (CAD) system is proposed for classifying benign and malignant mass tumors in breast mammography images. In this CAD system, two segmentation approaches are used. The first approach involves determining the region of interest (ROI) manually, while the second approach uses the technique of threshold and region based. The deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) is used for feature extraction. A well-known DCNN architecture named AlexNet is used and is fine-tuned to classify two classes instead of 1,000 classes. The last fully connected (fc) layer is connected to the support vector machine (SVM) classifier to obtain better accuracy. The results are obtained using the following publicly available datasets (1) the digital database for screening mammography (DDSM); and (2) the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of DDSM (CBIS-DDSM). Training on a large number of data gives high accuracy rate. Nevertheless, the biomedical datasets contain a relatively small number of samples due to limited patient volume. Accordingly, data augmentation is a method for increasing the size of the input data by generating new data from the original input data. There are many forms for the data augmentation; the one used here is the rotation. The accuracy of the new-trained DCNN architecture is 71.01% when cropping the ROI manually from the mammogram. The highest area under the curve (AUC) achieved was 0.88 (88%) for the samples obtained from both segmentation techniques. Moreover, when using the samples obtained from the CBIS-DDSM, the accuracy of the DCNN is increased to 73.6%. Consequently, the SVM accuracy becomes 87.2% with an AUC equaling to 0.94 (94%). This is the highest AUC value compared to previous work using the same conditions.

Epilepsy is a prevalent condition, mainly affecting the nervous system of the human body. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to evaluate and examine the seizures caused due to epilepsy. The issue of low precision and poor comprehensiveness is worked upon using dual tree- complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT), rather than discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Here, Logarithmic energy entropy (LogEn) and Shannon entropy (ShanEn) are taken as input features. These features are fed to Linear Support Vector Machine     (L-SVM) Classifier. For LogEn, accuracy of 100% for A-E, 99.34% for AB-E, and 98.67% for AC-E is achieved. While ShanEn combinations give accuracy of 96.67% for AB-E and 95.5% for ABC-E. These results showcase that our methodology is suitable for overcoming the problem and can become an alternate option for clinical diagnosis.  


The Breast Cancer is disease which tremendously increased in women’s nowadays. Mammography is technique of low-powered X-ray diagnosis approach for detection and diagnosis of cancer diseases at early stage. The proposed system shows the solution of two problems. First shows to detect tumors as suspicious regions with a weak contrast to their background and second shows way to extract features which categorize tumors. Hence this classification can be done with SVM, a great method of statistical learning has made significant achievement in various field. Discovered in the early 90’s, which led to an interest in machine learning? Here the different types of tumor like Benign, Malignant, or Normal image are classified using the SVM classifier. This techniques shows how easily we can detect region of tumor is present in mammogram images with more than 80% of accuracy rates for linear classification using SVM. The 10-fold cross validation to get an accurate outcome is been used by proposed system. The Wisconsin breast cancer diagnosis data set is referred from UCI machine learning repository. The considering accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false discovery rate, false omission rate and Matthews’s correlation coefficient is appraised in the proposed system. This Provides good result for both training and testing phase. The techniques also shows accuracy of 98.57% and 97.14% by use of Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors

This chapter gives an effective and efficient technique that can detect epilepsy in real time. It is low cost, low power, and real-time devices that can easily detect epilepsy. Along with EEG device, one can upgrade with GSM module to alert the doctors and parents of patients about its occurrence to prevent a sudden fall, which may cause injury and death. The accuracy of this EEG device depends on the quality of feature extraction technique and classification algorithm. In this chapter, support vector machine (SVM) is used as a classifier. Wavelet transform gives feature extraction, which helps to train data and to detect normal or seizure patients. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decomposes the signals into three decomposition levels. In this detection, mean, median, and non-linear parameter entropy were calculated for every sub-band as key parameters. The extracted features are then applied to SVM classifier for the classification. Better accuracy of classification is obtained using wavelet and SVM classifier.

This paper introduces a computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) system for automatic mitosis detection from breast cancer histopathology slide images. In this system, a new approach for reducing the number of false positives is proposed based on Teaching-Learning-Based optimization (TLBO). The proposed CAD system is implemented on the histopathology slide images acquired by Aperio XT scanner (scanner A). In TLBO algorithm, the number of false positives (falsely detected nonmitosis candidates as mitosis ones) is defined as a cost function and, by minimizing it, many of nonmitosis candidates will be removed. Then some color and texture (textural) features such as those derived from cooccurrence and run-length matrices are extracted from the remaining candidates and finally mitotic cells are classified using a specific support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The simulation results have proven the claims about the high performance and efficiency of the proposed CAD system.


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

Glaucoma disease diagnosis greatly based on the accurate retinal image segmentation and classification of images. Segmentation means to divide the images into a patchwork of regions, each of which is “homogeneous”, that is the “same” in some sense. Using discrete wavelet transform, the segmented images are classified by Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers to classify the Glaucoma images.The proposed Support Vector Machine classifier is used to extract the information rely on the Region of Interest (ROI) from original retinal fundus image. Thus the classification result are used to find the normal and abnormal image and also to compute the normal and abnormal accuracies.We observed an accuracy of around 93% using data set by SVM classifier.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer occurring in women. Early detection through mammogram screening can save more women’s lives. However, even senior radiologists may over-diagnose the clinical condition. Machine learning (ML) is the most used technique in the diagnosis of cancer to help reduce human errors. This study is aimed to develop a computer-aided detection (CAD) system using ML for classification purposes. In this work, 80 digital mammograms of normal breasts, 40 of benign and 40 of malignant cases were chosen from the mini MIAS dataset. These images were denoised using median filter after they were segmented to obtain a region of interest (ROI) and enhanced using histogram equalization. This work compared the performance of artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), reduced features of SVM and the hybrid SVM-ANN for classification process using the statistical and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features extracted from the enhanced images. It is found that the hybrid SVM-ANN gives the best accuracy of 99.4% and 100% in differentiating normal from abnormal, and benign from malignant cases, respectively. This hybrid SVM-ANN model was deployed in developing the CAD system which showed relatively good accuracy of 98%.
