Analysis of Tissue Abnormality in Mammography Images Using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix Method

Abstract

Abstract One of the dangerous diseases is breast cancer, which threatens women and men to the same extent. But women are more affected by this disease. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) is the optimal method for the early detection of breast cancer. It can reduce the false positives in radiologist diagnosis, which leads to reduce the death-rate. This paper presents a feature extraction technique with mammography images to breast mass recognition. Then, distinguishing normal tissue and abnormal breast masses. The mini-MIAS database of mammograms was used in this paper. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix is the method that was used to extract features from the region of interest. The best sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are observed with a k nearest neighbor classifier.
