Hybrid Mammogram Classification Using Rough Set and Fuzzy Classifier
Fadi Abu-Amara, Ikhlas M. Abdel-Qader · International Journal of Biomedical Imaging · 2009
We propose a computer aided detection (CAD) system for the detection and classification of suspicious regions in mammographic images. This system combines a dimensionality reduction module (using principal component analysis), a feature extraction module (using independent component analysis), and a feature subset selection module (using rough set model). Rough set model is used to reduce the effect of data inconsistency while a fuzzy classifier is integrated into the system to label subimages into normal or abnormal regions. The experimental results show that this system has an accuracy of 84.03% and a recall percentage of 87.28%.
