An Artificial Immune System-Based Support Vector Machine Approach for Classifying Ultrasound Breast Tumor Images.

Journal of digital imaging
A rapid and highly accurate diagnostic tool for distinguishing benign tumors from malignant ones is required owing to the high incidence of breast cancer. Although various computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed to interpret ultras...

Quantitative analysis of breast echotexture patterns in automated breast ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Breast tissue composition is considered to be associated with breast cancer risk. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided classification (CAC) system to automatically classify echotexture patterns as heterogeneous or homogeneous using a...

Automatic Detection of Masses in Mammograms Using Quality Threshold Clustering, Correlogram Function, and SVM.

Journal of digital imaging
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world. Several computer-aided detection and diagnosis systems have been used to assist health experts and to indicate suspect areas that would be difficult to perceive by the human eye; th...

Comparative analysis of breast cancer detection in mammograms and thermograms.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
In this paper, we present a system based on feature extraction techniques for detecting abnormal patterns in digital mammograms and thermograms. A comparative study of texture-analysis methods is performed for three image groups: mammograms from the ...

Management of bone loss in postmenopausal breast cancer patients treated with aromatase inhibitors.

Acta reumatologica portuguesa
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women, but despite survival rates improvement, it is still the second major cause of cancer related death. In postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER) dependent breast cancer, hormone ...

Robust automatic breast cancer staging using a combination of functional genomics and image-omics.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Breast cancer is one of the leading cancers worldwide. Precision medicine is a new trend that systematically examines molecular and functional genomic information within each patient's cancer to identify the patterns that may affect treatment decisio...

Breast tumor classification in ultrasound images using neural networks with improved generalization methods.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Mammography, scintimammography and ultrasound images have been used to increase the specificity of breast cancer image diagnosis. Concerning breast cancer image diagnosis with ultrasound, some results found in the literature show better performance o...

Image manifold revealing for breast lesion segmentation in DCE-MRI.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely used for breast lesion differentiation. Manual segmentation in DCE-MRI is difficult and open to viewer interpretation. In this paper, an automatic segmentation method based on i...

OntoMama: An Ontology Applied to Breast Cancer.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This article describes the process of building an ontology to assist medical students and professionals specialized in Oncology. The ontology allows the user to obtain knowledge more quickly and thus assist professionals in their decision-making.
