Abstract
Mammography is a low-dose X-ray imaging technique that can detect breast tumors, cysts, and calcifications, which can aid in detecting potential breast cancer in the early stage and reduce the mortality rate. This study employed a multilayer convolutional neural network (MCNN) to screen breast lesions with mammographic images. Within the region of interest, a specific bounding box is used to extract feature maps before automatic image segmentation and feature classification are conducted. These include three classes, namely, normal, benign tumor, and malignant tumor. Multiconvolution processes with kernel convolution operations have noise removal and sharpening effects that are better than other image processing methods, which can strengthen the features of the desired object and contour and increase the classifier’s classification accuracy. However, excessive convolution layers and kernel convolution operations will increase the computational complexity, computational time, and training time for training the classifier. Thus, this study aimed to determine a suitable number of convolution layers and kernels to achieve a classifier with high learning performance and classification accuracy, with a case study in the breast lesion screening of mammographic images. The Mammographic Image Analysis Society Digital Mammogram Database (United Kingdom National Breast Screening Program) was used for experimental tests to determine the number of convolution layers and kernels. The optimal classifier’s performance is evaluated using accuracy (%), precision (%), recall (%), and F1 score to test and validate the most suitable MCNN model architecture.
