A New Approach for Mammogram Image Classification Using Fractal Properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate classification of images is essential for the analysis of mammograms in computer aided diagnosis of breast cancer. We propose a new approach to classify mammogram images based on fractal features. Given a mammogram image, we first eliminate all the artifacts and extract the salient features such as Fractal Dimension (FD) and Fractal Signature (FS). These features provide good descriptive values of the region. Second, a trainable multilayer feed forward neural network has been designed for the classification purposes and we compared the classification test results with K-Means. The result reveals that the proposed approach can classify with a good performance rate of 98%.

The objective of this research is to model the mammographic parenchymal, ductal patterns and enhance microcalcifications using a fractal approach. According to the theory of deterministic fractal geometry, images can be modeled by deterministic fractal objects which are attractors of sets of two dimensional afflne transformations. In this paper, a methodology based on fractal image modeling is ...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection and Classification of Microcalcification, Mass, Architectural Distortion and Bilateral Asymmetry in Digital Mammogram
Mammography has been one of the most reliable methods for early detection of breast cancer. There are different lesions which are breast cancer characteristic such as microcalcifications, masses, architectural distortions and bilateral asymmetry. One of the major challenges of analysing digital mammogram is how to extract efficient features from it for accurate cancer classification. In this pa...
