| Abstract | Early stage breast cancer detection can reduce death rates in long term. Mammography is the current standard screening tool available for breast cancer detection, but it is found to have high false-positive and false-negative rates. This may be due to poor quality of mammograms, subtle nature of malignancies and limitations in human/brain visual system. The aim of this research work is to develop an efficient classification tool with improved breast screening accuracy to distinguish between healthy, benign and malignant breast parenchyma in digital mammograms. This paper presents a computer aided diagnosis system for automated detection and diagnosis of breast cancer in digital mammograms. The proposed system can be used as a reference reader for double reading the mammograms and thus assisting the radiologists in clinical diagnosis by indicating suspicious abnormalities. This can improve the diagnostic performance of the radiologists. In the proposed methodology, the regions of interest (ROI) are automatically detected and segmented from mammograms using global thresholding, Otsu’s method and morphological operations. Shape, texture and grey-level features are extracted from the ROIs. Optimal features are selected using Classifier and Regression Tree (CART). Classification is performed with Feed forward artificial neural networks using back propagation. Performance is evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and confusion matrix. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 96% with 83% sensitivity and 98% specificity. The proposed methodology has been compared with several other classification models and is found to have a good performance in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
