Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCLASSIFICATION OF MICROCALCIFICATION BASED ON WAVE ATOM TRANSFORMA. Rajesh, Mohan EllappanBreast cancer is a serious problem for women in the world. It is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in woman, with one in nine women expected to be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their life-time. It is second only to lung cancer in cancer related deaths. Statistics shows that the case of breast cancer in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 5 Apr 2014 · 6,517 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL BASED CLASSIFICATION OF MICROCALCIFICATION IN MAMMOGRAMS USING DYADIC WAVELET TRANSFORMSuman Mishra, Hariharan RanganathanBreast cancer is a serious health related issue for women in the world. Cancer detected at premature stages has a higher probability of being cured, whereas at advanced stages chances of survival are bleak. Screening programs aid in detecting potential breast cancer at early stages of the disease. Among the various screening programs, mammography is the proven standard for screening … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 6,867 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA robust Approach to Classify Microcalcification in Digital Mammograms Using Contourlet Transform and Support Vector MachineJ. S. Leena Jasmine, S. Baskaran, A. GovardhanMammogram is the best available radiographic method to detect breast cancer in the early stage. However detecting a microcalcification clusters in the early stage is a tough task for the radiologist. Herein we present a novel approach for classifying microcalcification in digital mammograms using Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The classification of microcalcification is achieved by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2013 · 7,856 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWavelet Analysis and Orthogonal Moments based Classification of Microcalcification in Digital MammogramsN. V.S. Sree Rathna Lakshmi, C. ManoharanProblem statement: An important early sign of breast cancer is the clusters of micro calcifications in digital mammograms. To assist radiologists in the diagnosis of mammographic clusters a novel hybrid algorithm has been developed. Approach: A method, for detecting micro calcification in mammograms based on combined feature set with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) was proposed. The diagonal matrix ‘S’ obtained … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 6 Aug 2011 · 6,558 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEfficient Technique to Detect the Region of Interests in Mammogram ImagesMoussa H. Abdallah, Ayman A. AbuBaker, Rami S. Qahwaji, Mohammed H. SalehProblem Statement: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today after lung cancer and is the most common cancer among women. The development of efficient technique to early detect the region of microcalcifications mammogram images is a must. Approach: The method proposed in this paper is to enhance the Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) performance.
