S. Simon, Dr. Lavanya R., and Vijayan, D., “PSO Based Density Classifier for Mammograms”, in The 16th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Singapore, 2017.[Abstract] Breast cancer is the major cancer diagnosed in both, developed and developing countries. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer is necessary to moderate the associated fatality rates. Mammography is the widely accepted modality for screening breast cancer. Breast density is considered one of the major risk indicators for Breast cancer. Nevertheless, low contrast and subtle nature of abnormalities reduces the sensitivity of mammograms, especially in dense breast. In this paper we present an automatic method for breast density classification based on two level cascaded support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been employed for SVM parameter optimization that resulted in a low set up time for building the system. The proposed system was tested on mini-MIAS database, and an overall classification accuracy of 82% was achieved. Also the system could prompt the radiologists on high-risk cases, thereby gaining more attention from them for diagnosis of such cases. More »» |

R. M. Kirubaa, Dr. Lavanya R., Kotwal, N. P., and Vijayan, D., “Change Detection In Mammogram Images Using Fuzzy C- Means Clustering”, International Journal of Applied Engineering Research, vol. 10, no. 11, pp. 29825-29834 , 2015.[Abstract] Experts have estimated that breast cancer is diagnosed in about one out of every eight women. At present mammography is the most efficient tool for the screening of breast cancer and studies show that misinterpretation is an important cause of missing breast cancer. In this paper we propose a computer aided detection system to identify changes in temporal mammographic images which would aid radiologists in the early and accurate detection of mammographic lesions. This system involves pre-processing, registration, generation of difference image and the analysis of difference image to obtain the changed and unchanged regions of the lesion. The novelty of this research work is to effectively find changes in mammogram images obtained from consecutive screening rounds using fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering. The efficiency of FCM is compared with K-means clustering using overall error (OE) and kappa coefficient (KC). Experimental results show that the proposed method is a better alternative to the K-means clustering method. These techniques have been tested on mammogram images obtained from a private hospital.
