The Design of Machine Learning-Based Computer-Aided System with LabVIEW For Abnormalities in Mammogram Images

Abstract

Mammogram is the best way of breast cancer detection nowadays, as breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the female gender and this form of cancer usually causes death. Many scientists, doctors, and engineers are working together to deal with such serious issues in human life. This paper, it is aimed to develop a new computer-aided system with a graphical coded language to detect abnormalities in mammogram images by using machine learning technics such as ANN and SVM. The developed algorithm has a graphical user interface (GUI) and all results are shown in there. The algorithm was created using three different stages. These are image processing and mass segmentation, feature selection and extraction, and classification. To test the accuracy of the system as the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, mammogram images with forty benign and forty malignant masses were used. The obtained results for measuring the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are 95%, 97.5%, and 96.25% for ANN and 97.5%, 97.5%, and 97.5% for SVM, respectively. As can be said that the algorithm, user-friendly due to its user interface, can be preferred because it can detect many cancerous cells such as breast cancer with high accuracy.
