- Abstract
- It is well known that breast density in mammograms may hinder the accuracy of diagnosis of breast cancer. Although the dense breasts should be processed in a special manner, most of the research has treated dense breast almost the same as fatty. Consequently, the dense tissues in the breast are diagnosed as a developed cancer. In contrast, dense-fatty should be clearly distinguished before the diagnosis of cancerous or not cancerous breast. In this paper, we develop such a system that will automatically analyze mammograms and identify significant features. For feature extraction, we develop a novel system by combining a two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) and a principal component analysis (PCA) to extract a minimal feature set of mammograms to differentiate breast density. These features are fed to three classifiers: Backpropagation Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K Nearest Neighbour (KNN). A majority voting on the outputs of different machine learning tools is also investigated to enhance the classification performance. The results show that features extracted using a combination of DCT-PCA provide a very high classification performance while using a majority voting of classifiers outputs from MLP, SVM, and KNN.
