Breast cancer or malignant breast neoplasm is the most common type of cancer in women. Researchers are not sure of the exact cause of breast cancer. If the cancer can be detected early, the options of treatment and the chances of total recovery will increase. Computer Aided Diagnostic (CAD) systems can help the researchers and specialists in detecting the abnormalities early. The main goal of computerized breast cancer detection in digital mammography is to identify the presence of abnormalities such as mass lesions and Micro calcification Clusters (MCCs). Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer represent the key for breast cancer control and can increase the success of treatment. This chapter investigates a new CAD system for the diagnosis process of benign and malignant breast tumors from digital mammography. X-ray mammograms are considered the most effective and reliable method in early detection of breast cancer. In this chapter, the breast tumor is segmented from medical image using Fuzzy Clustering Means (FCM) and the features for mammogram images are extracted. The results of this work showed that these features are used to train the classifier to classify tumors. The effectiveness and performance of this work is examined using classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity and the practical part of the proposed system distinguishes tumors with high accuracy.

Background: Breast cancer represents uncontrolled breast cell growth. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Early detection of breast cancer improves the chances of survival and increases treatment options. There are various methods for screening breast cancer such as mammogram, ultrasound, computed tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is gaining prominence as an alternative screening tool for early detection and breast cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, MRI can hardly be examined without the use of a Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) framework, due to the vast amount of data. Objective: This paper aims to cover the approaches used in CAD system for the detection of breast cancer. Method: In this paper, the methods used in CAD systems are categories in two classes: the conventional approach and artificial intelligence (AI) approach. The conventional approach covers the basic steps of image processing such as preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The AI approach covers the various convolutional and deep learning networks used for diagnosis. Conclusion: This review discusses some of the core concepts used in breast cancer and presents a comprehensive review of efforts in the past to address this problem.

Early Detection And Diagnosis

Breast cancer has been one of the main diseases that threatens women’s life. Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer play an important role in reducing mortality of breast cancer. In this paper, we propose a selective ensemble method integrated with the KNN, SVM, and Naive Bayes to diagnose the breast cancer combining ultrasound images with mammography images. Our experimental results have shown that the selective classification method with an accuracy of 88.73% and sensitivity of 97.06% is efficient for breast cancer diagnosis. And indicator R presents a new way to choose the base classifier for ensemble learning.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women everywhere in the world. Since the reason behind the disease remains unknown, early detection and diagnosis is the key challenge for breast cancer control. In this work, mammogram images are initially subject to pre-processing using Laplacian filter for enhancement of tumour regions, Gaussian mixture model, Gaussian kernel FCM, Otsu global thresholding and FCM technique are employed for segmentation. Further, the efficiency of segmentation techniques is analyzed by classifying the samples into benign, malignant and healthy using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features. Linear discriminant analysis classifier is used a combination based on which efficiency used for classification of mammograms. Ensemble methods are evaluated. The efficiency has resulted in better accuracy with the ensemble-based method. The experimentation is conducted in the mini MIAS database of mammograms, and the efficiency of the linear discriminant analyzer is found to be 89.19% for GKFCM, 83.78% with Otsu and 78.38% with FCM method with GLCM features.

Breast cancer continues to be a significant public health problem in the world. Early detection is the key for improving breast cancer prognosis. Mammography has been one of the most reliable methods for early detection of breast carcinomas. However, it is difficult for radiologists to provide both accurate and uniform evaluation for the enormous mammograms generated in widespread screening. Breast cancer computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can provide such help and they are important and necessary for breast cancer control. Micro calcifications and masses are the two most important indicators of malignancy, and their automated detection is very valuable for early breast cancer diagnosis. Since masses are often indistinguishable from the surrounding parenchymal, automated mass detection and classification is even more challenging. This research presents algorithms for building a classification system or CAD, especially to obtain the different characteristics of mass and micro calcification using association technique based on classification. Starting with an individual-specific deformable of 3D breast model, this modelling framework will be useful for tracking visible tumors between mammogram images, as well as for registering breast images taken from different imaging modalities. From the results, the classifier developed able to perform well by successfully classifying the cancer and non-cancer (normal) images with the accuracy of 97%. Apart from that, by applying color map to the final results of segmentation provides a more interesting display of information and gives more direction to the purpose of image processing, which distinguishes between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues.

Detection And Diagnosis

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. Early detection is the key to reduce the mortality rates. Mammography screening has proven to be one of the effective tools for diagnosis of breast cancer. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system is a fast, reliable, and cost-effective tool in assisting the radiologists/physicians for diagnosis of breast cancer. CAD systems play an increasingly important role in the clinics by providing a second opinion. Clinical trials have shown that CAD systems have improved the accuracy of breast cancer detection. A typical CAD system involves three major steps i.e. segmentation of suspected lesions, feature extraction and classification of these regions into normal or abnormal class and further into benign or malignant stages. The diagnostics ability of any CAD system is dependent on accurate segmentation, feature extraction techniques and most importantly classification tools that have ability to discriminate the normal tissues from the abnormal tissues. In this chapter we discuss the application of machine learning algorithms e.g. ANN, binary tree, SVM, etc. together with segmentation and feature extraction techniques in a CAD system development. Various methods used in the detection and diagnosis of breast lesions in mammography are reviewed. A brief introduction of machine learning tools, used in diagnosis and their classification performance on various segmentation and feature extraction techniques is presented.

Early detection of breast cancer is necessary because it is considered as one of the most common reason of cancer death among women. Nowadays, the basic screening test for detection of breast cancer is Mammography which con-sists of various artifacts. These artifacts leads to wrong results in detection of breast cancer. Therefore, Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system mainly focus in removal of artifacts and mammogram quality enhancement. By this procedure, exact Region of Interest (ROI) can be obtained. This is a challenging procedure because detection of pecto-ral muscle and cancer region is difficult. Here a comparative study of different preprocessing and enhancement tech-niques are done by testing proposed system on mammogram mini-MIAS database. Result obtained shows that sug-gested system is efficient for CAD system.
