MICROCALCIFICATION EVALUATION IN COMPUTER ASSISTED DIAGNOSIS FOR DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY
"... In order to develop applications for z;isual interpretation of medical images, the early detection and evaluation of microcalcifications in digital mammograms is verg important since their presence is often associated with a high incidence of breast cancers. Accurate classification into benign and m ..."

based on a set of shape-based features extracted from the digitised mammography. The segmentation of the microcalcifications is performed using a fixed-tolerance region growing method to extract boundaries of calcifications with manually selected seed pixels. Taking into account that shapes and sizes
PSO-KNN Heuristic Parameter Selection and GLCM Features
"... Texture-based computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) of microcalcification clusters is more robust than the state-of-art shape-based CADx because the performance of shape-based approach heavily depends on the effectiveness of microcalcification (MC) segmentation. This paper presents a texture-based CADx th ..."

that consists of two stages. The first one characterizes MC clusters using texture features from gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). In the second stage, an embedded feature selection based on particle swarm optimization and a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier, called PSO-KNN, is applied to simultaneously
CLASSIFICATION OF MC CLUSTERS IN DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY VIA HARALICK DESCRIPTORS AND HEURISTIC EMBEDDED FEATURE SELECTION METHOD
"... Characterizing the texture of mammographic tissue is an efficient and robust tool for the diagnosis of microcalcification (MC) clusters in mammography because it does not require a prior MC segmentation stage. This work is not only intended to validate MCs ’ surrounding tissue hypothesis that reveal ..."

that reveals the potential of breast tissue surrounding MCs to diagnose microcalcifications, but to present an improvement over the existing methods by introducing a new heuristic feature selection based on particle swarm optimization and KNN classifier (PSO-KNN). Using MC clusters from mini-MIAS and a local
Classification of Clustered Microcalcifications in Mammograms using Particle Swarm Optimization and Least-Squares Support Vector Machine
"... Feature selection and classifier hyper-parameter optimization are important stages of any computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for mammography. The optimal selection for shape features, kernel parameter, and classifier regularization constant is crucial to achieve a good generalization and perform ..."

The performance of the proposed shape-based CADx including PSO-LSSVM parameter selection method is examined using 60 microcalcification clusters. Using different cross-validation procedures, the proposed PSO
A Texture Analysis Approach for Characterizing Microcalcifications on Mammograms
"... Abstract—The current study investigates whether texture properties of the tissue surrounding microcalcification (MC) clusters can contribute to breast cancer diagnosis. The case sample analyzed consists of 100 mammographic images, originating from the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM ..."

882 Computer-aided classification of breast microcalcification clusters: Merging of features from image processing and radiologists
"... We developed an ensemble classifier for the task of computer-aided diagnosis of breast microcalcification clusters, which are very challenging to characterize for radiologists and computer models alike. The purpose of this study is to help radiologists identify whether suspicious calcification clust ..."
