Artificial Intelligence-Based Breast Cancer Detection Using WPSO

Abstract

To detect breast cancer in the early stages, microcalcifications are considered a key symptom. Several scientific investigations were performed to fight against this disease for which machine learning techniques can be extensively used. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is recognized as one among several efficient and promising approach for diagnosing breast cancer by assisting medical experts for timely and apt treatment. This paper uses weighted particle swarm optimization (WPSO) approach for extracting textural features from the segmented mammogram image for classifying microcalcifications as normal, benign, or malignant, thereby improving the accuracy. In the breast region, tumor part is extracted using optimization methods. Here, artificial intelligence (AI) is proposed for detecting breast cancer, which reduces the manual overheads. AI framework is constructed for extracting features efficiently. This designed model detects the cancer regions in mammogram (MG) images and rapidly classifies those regions as normal or abnormal. This model uses MG images obtained from hospitals.
