Description

ABSTRACT

Mammography is the most efficient modality for detection of breast cancer at early stage. Microcalcifications are tiny bright spots in mammograms and can often get missed by the radiologist during diagnosis. The presence of microcalcification clusters in mammograms can act as an early sign of breast cancer. This paper presents a completely region of interest(ROI) system for detection of microcalcification clusters in mammograms. Blurry masking is used as a preprocessing step which enhances the contrast between microcalcifications and the background. The preprocessed image is threshold and various shape and intensity based features are extracted. Neural Networks(NN) classifier is used to reduce the false positives while preserving the true microcalcification clusters

INTRODUCTION

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. early detection of suspicious lesions is crucial for the prognosis of the patient. In cases where a lesion is detected before cancer cells spread into the surrounding tissue, the 5-year survival rate is 97.9%. It drops sharply to 81.3% and 26.1% for regionally advanced and metastatic cancer, respectively Detection of breast cancer is conducted by means of two most widely used diagnostic methods, i.e., mammography and ultrasonography (USG) imaging. These two methods are best suited for unveiling different types of cancer . The system processes the mammograms in several steps. First, we filter the original picture with a filter that is sensitive to microcalcification contrast shape. Then, we enhance the mammogram contrast by using wavelet-based sharpening algorithm. Afterwards, we present to radiologist, for visual analysis, such a contrast-enhanced mammogram with suggested positions of microcalcification clusters. We have evaluated the usefulness of the system with the help of four experienced radiologists, who found that it significantly improves the detection of microcalcifications in small field digital mammography.

EXISTING SYSTEM

In existing system we used DCT(discrete cosine transform) technique and SVM(support vector machine) algorithm. Here DCT will be used for segmentation process of micro parts  in image. After the segmentation process we will go to the classification using support vector machine. But in this system we cant get the accurate counts of micro particles of query image, so we are proposing a new technique to accurate the results. 

PROPOSED METHOD 

The proposed microcalcification detection method is done in two stages. In the first stage, features are extracted to discriminate between textures representing clusters of microcalcifications and texture representing normal tissue. The original mammogram image is decomposed using wavelet decomposition and Gabor features are extracted from the original image Region of Interest (ROI). With these features individual microcalcification clusters is detected. In the second stage, the ability of these features in detecting microcalcification is done using Probability Neural Network (PNN).

CONCLUSION

The algorithm developed here classifies mammograms into normal & abnormal. First, the structures in mammograms produced by normal glandular tissue of varying density are eliminated using a Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) based local average subtraction. The Gabor features are extracted and classification approaches using artificial neural networks shows good classification results. Using the mammographic data from the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) database a recognition score of 84.3% was achieved using the proposed approach.
