Abstract
High-quality mammography is the most effective technology presently available for breast cancer screening. Efforts to improve mammography focus on refining the technology and improving how it is administered and X-ray films are interpreted. Computer-based intelligent system for identification of the breast cancer can be very useful in diagnosis and its management. This paper presents a comparative approach for classification of three kinds of mammogram namely normal, benign and cancer. The features are extracted from the raw images using the image processing techniques and fed to the two classifiers namely: the feedforward architecture neural network classifier, and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for comparison.. Our protocol uses, 360 subjects consisting of normal, benign and cancer breast conditions. We demonstrate a sensitivity and specificity of more than 90% for these classifiers.
