Computerized decision support system for mass identification in breast using digital mammogram: A study on GA-based neuro-fuzzy approaches

摘要

In the present work, authors have developed a treatment planning system implementing genetic based neuro-fuzzy approaches for accurate analysis of shape and margin of tumor masses appearing in breast using digital mammogram. It is obvious that a complicated structure invites the problem of over learning and misclassification. In proposed methodology, genetic algorithm (GA) has been used for searching of effective input feature vectors combined with adaptive neuro-fuzzy model for final classification of different boundaries of tumor masses. The study involves 200 digitized mammograms from MIAS and other databases and has shown 86% correct classification rate.
