Mammography is successfully used as an effective screening tool for cancer diagnosis. A calcification cluster on mammography is a primary sign of cancer. Early researches have proved the diagnostic value of the calcification, yet their performance is...
BACKGROUND: Quantizing the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) criteria into different categories with the single ultrasound modality has always been a challenge. To achieve this, we proposed a two-stage grading system to automatically...
The review aims at providing current state of evidence in the field of medicine with fuzzy logic for diagnosing diseases. Literature reveals that fuzzy logic has been used effectively in medicine. Different types of methodologies have been applied to...
