Computer Aided Classification of Architectural Distortion in Mammograms Using Texture Features

چکیده
Computer aided diagnosis systems provide vital opinion to radiologists in the detection of early signs of breast cancer from mammogram images. Architectural distortions, masses and microcalcifications are the major abnormalities. In this paper, a computer aided diagnosis system has been proposed for distinguishing abnormal mammograms with architectural distortion from normal mammogram. Four types of texture features GLCM texture, GLRLM texture, fractal texture and spectral texture features for the regions of suspicion are extracted. Support vector machine has been used as classifier in this study. The proposed system yielded an overall sensitivity of 96.47% and an accuracy of 96% for mammogram images collected from digital database for screening mammography database. Keywords—Architecture Distortion, GLCM Texture features, GLRLM Texture Features, Mammograms, Support Vector Machine.

Classification of Architectural Distortion from Other Abnormalities in Mammograms
Screening mammograms is a repetitive task that causes fatigue and eye strain. For thousands of cases analyzed by a radiologist, not more than ten are cancerous and thus an abnormality may be overlooked. Computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithms are developed to assist radiologists in detecting mammographic abnormalities. In this paper, a CAD system is developed to classify Architectural Distort...
