An Adaptive CAD System to Detect Microcalcification in Compressed Mammogram Images
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Microcalcifications (MC) in mammogram images are an early sign for breast cancer and their early detection is vital to improve its prognosis. Since MC appears as small dot in the mammogram image with size less than 1 mm and maybe easily overlooked by the radiologist, the Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) approach can assist the radiologist to improve their diagnostic accuracy. On the other hand, the mammogram images are a high resolution image with large image size which makes difficult the image transfer through the media. Therefore, in this paper, two image compressions techniques which are Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) with entropy coding and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) were investigated to reduce the mammogram image size. Then a novel adaptive CAD system is used to test the quality of the processed image based on true positive (TP) ratio and number of detected false positive (FP) regions in the mammogram image. The proposed adaptive CAD system used the visual appearance of MC in the mammogram to detect a potential MC regions. Then five texture features are implemented to reduce number of detected FP regions in the mammogram images. After implementing the adaptive CAD system on 100 mammogram images from USF and MIAS databases, it was found that the DCT can reduce the image size with a high quality since the ratio of TP is 87.6% with 11 FP/regions while in SVD the TP ratio is 79.1% with 26 FP/regions.
