Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women. Early detection can significantly reduce the mortality rate among women and improve their prognosis. Mammography is the first line procedure for early diagnosis. In the early era, conventional Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CADx) systems for breast lesion diagnosis were based on just single view information. The last decade evidence the use of two views mammogram: Medio-Lateral Oblique (MLO) and Cranio-Caudal (CC) view for the CADx systems. Most recent studies show the effectiveness of four views of mammogram to train CADx system with feature fusion strategy for classification task. In this paper, we proposed an end-to-end Multi-View Attention-based Late Fusion (MVALF) CADx system that fused the obtained predictions of four view models, which is trained for each view separately. These separate models have different predictive ability for each class. The appropriate fusion of multi-view models can achieve better diagnosis performance. So, it is necessary to assign the proper weights to the multi-view classification models. To resolve this issue, attention-based weighting mechanism is adopted to assign the proper weights to trained models for fusion strategy. The proposed methodology is used for the classification of mammogram into normal, mass, calcification, malignant masses and benign masses. The publicly available datasets CBIS-DDSM and mini-MIAS are used for the experimentation. The results show that our proposed system achieved 0.996 AUC for normal vs. abnormal, 0.922 for mass vs. calcification and 0.896 for malignant vs. benign masses. Superior results are seen for the classification of malignant vs benign masses with our proposed approach, which is higher than the results using single view, two views and four views early fusion-based systems. The overall results of each level show the potential of multi-view late fusion with transfer learning in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

: Breast Cancer is a common dangerous disease for women. In the world, many women died due to Breast cancer. However, in the initial stage, the diagnosis of breast cancer can save women's life. To diagnose cancer in the breast tissues there are several techniques and methods. The image processing, machine learning and deep learning methods and techniques are presented in this paper to diagnose the breast cancer. This work will be helpful to adopt better choices and reliable methods to diagnose breast cancer in an initial stage to survive the women's life. To detect the breast masses, microcalcifications, malignant cells the different techniques are used in the Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems phases like preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. We have been reported a detailed analysis of different techniques or methods with their usage and performance measurement. From the reported results, it is concluded that for the survival of women’s life it is essential to improve the methods or techniques to diagnose breast cancer at an initial stage by improving the results of the Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems. Furthermore, segmentation and classification phases are challenging for researchers for the diagnosis of breast cancer accurately. Therefore, more advanced tools and techniques are still essential for the accurate diagnosis and classification of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the world. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women. Early detection of breast cancer tumours is crucial in the treatment. In this study, we presented a computer aided diagnosis expectation maximization segmentation and co-occurrence texture features from wavelet approximation tumour image of each slice and evaluated the performance of SVM Algorithm. We tested the model on 50 patients, among them, 25 are benign and 25 malign. The 80% of the images are allocated for training and 20% of images reserved for testing. The proposed model classified 2 patients correctly with success rate of 80% in case of 5 Fold Cross-Validation  Keywords: Breast Cancer, Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI);

Breast cancer is also a leading cause of cancer death in the less developed countries of the world. This is partly because a shift in lifestyles is causing an increase in incidence. Breast cancer originates from the inner lining of milk ducts/lobes either in the form of invasive or non invasive disease in general. Mammography, particularly with Computer-Aided Detection (CAD), can now produce images detailed enough for diagnostic purposes, and digital mammography allows transmission of 3-dimensionssal images over long distances. The aim for the system is to design a Computer Aided Diagnosis systematic tool for perceiving non cancerous and perilous (cancer causing) mammogram. The aim of the research is proposed to develop an image processing algorithm for an automatic detection and classification of breast lesions accurately. CAD tool helped radiologist in expanding his assurance accuracy. Support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to discriminate the tumors into benign or malignant. Incorporate best features of the find out that has significant responsibility in achieving the perfect turnout which are then designated and associated with ANN to train and classify.

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer type that is diagnosed in women. The exact causes of such cancer are still unknown. Early and precise detection of breast cancer using mammogram images or biopsy to provide the required medications can increase the healing percentage. There are much current research efforts to developed a computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system based on mammogram images for detecting and classification of breast masses. In this research, a CAD system is developed for automated segmentation and two-stages classification of breast masses. The first stage includes the classification of the masses into seven classes (normal, calcification, circumscribed, spiculated, ill-defined, architectural distortion, asymmetry), which is done using probabilistic neural network (PNN). The second classification stage is to define the severity of abnormality into two classes (Benign and Malignant) which were done using support vector machine (SVM). The results of applying the proposed method on two mammogram image show that the accuracy of detection and segmentation of the breast mass was 99.8% for mammographic image analysis society database (MIAS-DB) with 322 images and 97.5% for breast cancer digital repository (BCDR), BCDR-F03 and BCDR-DN01 with 936 images, while for the first classification stage has accuracy of 97.08%, sensitivity of 98.30% and specificity of 89.8%, and the second classification stage has an accuracy of 99.18%, sensitivity of 98.42% and specificity of 94.90%.

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women around the world. The development of computer-aided diagnosis tools is essential to help pathologists to accurately interpret and discriminate between malignant and benign tumors. This paper proposes the development of an automated proliferative breast lesion diagnosis based on machine-learning algorithms. We used Tabu search to select the most significant features. The evaluation of the feature is based on the dependency degree of each attribute in the rough set. The categorization of reduced features was built using five machine-learning algorithms. The proposed models were applied to the BIDMC-MGH and Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer datasets. The performance measures of the used models were evaluated owing to five criteria. The top performing models were AdaBoost and logistic regression. Comparisons with others works prove the efficiency of the proposed method for superior diagnosis of breast cancer against the reviewed classification techniques.

Mammogram Images

Architectural distortion is the third most common mammographic appearance of nonpalpable breast cancer, representing nearly 6% of abnormalities detected on screening mammography. Although its prevalence on mammography is small compared with calcication or visible mass, architectural distortion is also more difcult to diagnose because it can be subtle and variable in presentation. Early detection of breast cancer is possible by nding architectural distortion in monographic images. Spiculated masses account for about 14% of biopsied lesions and about 81% of these are malignant. Current CAD systems are dramatically better at detecting microcalcications than masses. The sensitivity is considerably lower for Spiculated Masses that are rated as "subtle" by radiologists Moreover, since current systems were devised with masses and calcications in mind, they don’t perform as well on other, less prevalent but still clinically signicant lesion types. In this paper, we propose a computer aided diagnosis system for distinguishing abnormal mammograms with architectural distortion or spiculated masses from normal mammograms. Five types of texture features GLCM, GLRLM, fractal texture, spectral texture and HOG features for the regions of suspicion are extracted. Support vector machine has been used as classier in this work. The proposed system yielded an overall accuracy of 97.29% for mammogram images collected from mini-MIAS database which is better as compared to existing methods.
