A Technique to Detect Masses from Digital Mammograms Using Artificial Neural Network
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a technique to detect masses from digital mammograms using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), which performs malignant-normal classification on region of interest (ROI) that contains mass. The major mammographic characteristics for mass classification are Intensity, Shape and Texture. ANN exploits all such type of important factor to classify the mass into malignant or normal. The features used in characterizing the masses are mean, standard deviation, skewness, area, perimeter, homogeneity, energy, contrast and entropy. The main aim of the method is to increase the effectiveness and accuracy of the classification process in an objective manner to reduce the numbers of false-positive of malignancies. ANN with nine features was proposed for classifying the marked regions into malignant and normal. With ANN classifier, experiment result shows the 96.875% accuracy, 96.551% sensitivity and 97.142% specificity.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) content plays a key role in soil biological, chemical and physical behavior and knowledge about its state and distribution is essential for the effective and sustainable use of soil. Laboratory measurements of SOC are costly and time consuming and have not the possibility to extend the results to similar areas. Recently, the use of remote sensing data for evaluation of...
متن کاملStudy of the Effect of Breast Tissue Density on Detection of Masses in Mammograms
One of the parameters that are usually stored for mammograms is the BI-RADS density, which gives an idea of the breast tissue composition. In this work, we study the effect of BI-RADS density in our ongoing project for developing an image-based CAD system to detect masses in mammograms. This system consists of two stages. First, a blind feature extraction is performed for regions of interest (R...
