Intelligent system for processing and analysis of mammograms

Abstract

Abstract The article discusses the possibilities for the development of automated processing of mammographic images based on the principles of a systematic approach. A structural diagram of an intelligent system for processing and analyzing mammographic images is proposed, which contains three main modules: a module for forming cascading windows, a module for combining cascading windows, and a module for classification and decision making. The software was developed in MATLAB 2018b environment. The possibilities of functioning of each module are considered. Experimental testing of the software of the intelligent system for the classification of breast radiographs according to the classes “no area of interest” or “area of interest” was carried out. A criterion for evaluating the results of classification of mammographic images is selected. Experiments on control samples showed diagnostic efficiency for the classes of radiographs “no region of interest” - “region of interest” not less than 90%.
