Breast cancer is one among the most common cancers in women. The early detection of breast cancer reduces the risk of death. Mammograms are an efficient breast imaging technique for breast cancer screening. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems reduce manual errors and helps radiologists to analyze the mammogram images. The mammogram images are typically in two views, cranial-caudal (CC) and medio lateral oblique (MLO) views. MLO contains pectoral muscles (chest muscles) at the upper right or left corner of the image. In this study, it was removed by using a semi-automated method. All the normal and abnormal images were filtered and enhanced to improve the quality. GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix) texture features were extracted and analyzed by changing the number of features in a feature set. Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM) was used as classifier. The classification accuracy was improved as the number of features in GLCM feature set increases. Simulation results show an overall classification accuracy of 96.7% with 19 GLCM features using SVM classifiers.

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.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world today. Mammography screening gives vital information about normal and abnormal regions. The task is to detect the lesion in mammograms using computer-aided diagnosis techniques. The automated detection of cancer decreases the mortality rate and manual error. In this work, the statistical (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, energy and entropy) and tamura features (coarseness, contrast and directionality) were extracted from the Cranial-Caudal (CC) view of mammogram images collected from the M.S. Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, Bangalore. The support vector machine was used for classification. Different support vector machine kernels were used and results were tabulated. The highest accuracy was obtained for linear and quadratic kernels with 95.7% with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 91%.

In this era to recognize breast tumors can be based on mammogram images. This method will expedite the process of recognition and classification of breast cancer. This research was conducted classification techniques of breast cancer using mammogram images. The proposed model targets classification studies for cases of malignant, and benign cancer. The research consisted of five main stages, preprocessing, histogram equalization, convolution, feature extraction, and classification. For preprocessing cropping the image using region of interest (ROI), for convolution, median filter and histogram equalization are used to improve image quality. Feature extraction using Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) with 5 features, entropy, correlation, contrast, homogeneity, and variance. The final step is the classification using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Based on the hypotheses that have been tested and discussed, the accuracy for RBFNN is 86.27%, while the accuracy for SVM is 84.31%. This shows that the RBFNN method is better than SVM in distinguishing types of breast cancer. These results prove the process of improving image construction using histogram equalization and the median filter is useful in the classification process.


The early detection, diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of breast cancer are challenginghealthcare problems. This study focuses on outlining the traditional and trending techniques used for breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and prediction, including trending noninvasive, nonionizing, and biomarker genetic techniques.In addition, a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) is introduced to classify benign and malignant tumors in mammograms. This CAD system involves three steps. First, the Region of Interest (ROI) that includesthe tumor is identified using a threshold-based method. Second, a deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) processes the ROI to extract relevant mammogram features. Finally, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to decode two classes of mammogram structures (i.e., Benign (B), and Malignant (M) nodules). The training processes and implementations were carried out using 2800 mammogram images taken from the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of DDSM (CBIS-DDSM). Results have shown that the accuracy of CNN-SVM system achieves 85.1% using AlexNet CNN. Comparison with related work shows the promise of the proposed CAD system

Machine learning has been the topic of interest in research related to early detection of breast cancer based on mammogram images. In this study, we compare the performance results from three (3) types of machine learning techniques: 1) Naïve Bayes (NB), 2) Neural Network (NN) and 3) Support Vector Machine (SVM) with 2000 digital mammogram images to choose the best technique that could model the relationship between the features extracted and the state of the breast (‘Normal’ or ‘Cancer’). Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) which represents the two dimensions of the level variation gray in the image is used in the feature extraction process. Six (6) attributes consist of contrast, variance, standard deviation, kurtosis, mean and smoothness were computed as feature extracted and used as the inputs for the classification process. The data has been randomized and the experiment has been repeated for ten (10) times to check for the consistencies of the performance of all techniques. 70% of the data were used as the training data and another 30% used as testing data. The result after ten (10) experiments show that, Support Vector Machine (SVM) gives the most consistent results in correctly classifying the state of the breast as ‘Normal’ or ‘Cancer’, with the accuracy of 99.4%, in training and 98.76% in testing. The SVM classification model has outperformed NN and NB model in the study, and it shows that SVM is a good choice for determining the state of the breast at the early stage.

Nipple is a vital landmark in the breast lesion diagnosis. Although there are advanced computer-aided detection (CADe) systems for nipple detection in breast mediolateral oblique (MLO) views of mammogram images, few academic works address the coronal views of breast ultrasound (BUS) images. This paper addresses a novel CADe system to locate the Nipple Shadow Area (NSA) in ultrasound images. Here the Hu Moments and Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) were calculated through an iterative sliding window for the extraction of shape and texture features. These features are then concatenated and fed into an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to obtain probable NSA’s. Later, contour features, such as shape complexity through fractal dimension, edge distance from the periphery and contour area, were computed and passed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to identify the accurate NSA in each case. The coronal plane BUS dataset is built upon our own, which consists of 64 images from 13 patients. The test results show that the proposed CADe system achieves 91.99% accuracy, 97.55% specificity, 82.46% sensitivity and 88% F-score on our dataset.

Abstract Background The classification of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4A (BI-RADS 4A) lesions is mostly based on the personal experience of doctors and lacks specific and clear classification standards. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) provides a new method for BI-RADS categorisation. We analysed the ultrasonic morphological and texture characteristics of BI-RADS 4A benign and malignant lesions using AI, and these ultrasonic characteristics of BI-RADS 4A benign and malignant lesions were compared to examine the value of AI in the differential diagnosis of BI-RADS 4A benign and malignant lesions. Methods A total of 206 lesions of BI-RADS 4A examined using ultrasonography were analysed retrospectively, including 174 benign lesions and 32 malignant lesions. All of the lesions were contoured manually, and the ultrasonic morphological and texture features of the lesions, such as circularity, height-to-width ratio, margin spicules, margin coarseness, margin indistinctness, margin lobulation, energy, entropy, grey mean, internal calcification and angle between the long axis of the lesion and skin, were calculated using grey level gradient co-occurrence matrix analysis. Differences between benign and malignant lesions of BI-RADS 4A were analysed. Results Significant differences in margin lobulation, entropy, internal calcification and ALS were noted between the benign group and malignant group (P = 0.013, 0.045, 0.045, and 0.002, respectively). The malignant group had more margin lobulations and lower entropy compared with the benign group, and the benign group had more internal calcifications and a greater angle between the long axis of the lesion and skin compared with the malignant group. No significant differences in circularity, height-to-width ratio, margin spicules, margin coarseness, margin indistinctness, energy, and grey mean were noted between benign and malignant lesions. Conclusions Compared with the naked eye, AI can reveal more subtle differences between benign and malignant BI-RADS 4A lesions. These results remind us carefully observation of the margin and the internal echo is of great significance. With the help of morphological and texture information provided by AI, doctors can make a more accurate judgment on such atypical benign and malignant lesions.


The higher levels of blood glucose most often causes a metabolic disorder commonly called as Diabetes, scientifically as Diabetes Mellitus. A consequence of this is a major loss of vision and in long terms may eventually cause complete blindness. It initiates with swelling on blood vessels, formation of microaneurysms at the end of narrow capillaries. Haemorrhages due to rupture of small vessels and fluid leak causes exudates. The specialist examines it to diagnose and gives proper treatment. Fundus images are the fundamental tool for proper diagnosis of patients by medical experts. In this research work the fundus images are taken for processing, the neural network and support vector machine are trained for the proposed model. The features are extracted from the diabetic retinopathy image by using texture based algorithms such as Gabor, Local binary pattern and Gray level co-occurrence matrix for rating the level of diabetic retinopathy. The performance of all methods is calculated based on accuracy, precision, Recall and f-measure.
