AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF MAMMOGRAM MRI USING DENDOGRAMS
Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in women. In order to reduce the death rate , early detection of cancerous regions in mammogram images is needed. The existing system is not so accurate and it is time consuming. The Proposed system is mainly used for automatic segmentation of the mammogram images and classify them as benign,malignant or normal based on the decision tree J48 algorithm. A hybrid method of data mining technique is used to predict the texture features which play a vital role in classification. The sensitivity, the specificity, positive prediction value and negative prediction value of the proposed algorithm accounts to 93.45% , 99.95%,94% and 98.5% which rates very high when compared to the existing algorithms. The size and the stages of the tumor is detected using the ellipsoid volume formula which is calculated over the segmented region.Downloads
