Abstract

In recent years, there are several cost-effective intelligent sensing systems such as ultrasound imaging systems for visualizing the internal body structures of the body. Further, such intelligent sensing systems such as ultrasound systems have been deployed by medical doctors around the globe for efficient detection of several diseases and disorders in the human body. Even though the ultrasound sensing system is a useful tool for obtaining the imagery of various body parts, there is always a possibility of inconsistencies in these images due to the variation in the settings of the system parameters. Therefore, in order to overcome such issues, this research devises an SVM-enabled intelligent genetic algorithmic model for choosing the universal features with four distinct settings of the parameters. Subsequently, the distinguishing characteristics of these features are assessed utilizing the Sorensen-Dice coefficient, t-test, and Pearson’s R measure. It is apparent from the results of the SVM-enabled intelligent genetic algorithmic model that this approach aids in the effectual selection of universal features for the breast cyst images. In addition, this approach also accomplishes superior accuracy in the classification of the ultrasound image for four distinct settings of the parameters.

Highlights

  • Medical practitioners classify the breast cysts in two major categories, namely the benign and malignant tumors

  • These images were acquired from the patients utilizing all the four distinct settings of the parameters in the ultrasound sensing system

  • The ultrasound sensing systems perform well in the diagnosis of the lesion region, and it can clearly distinguish it from the healthy tissues in the breast

Summary

Introduction

Medical practitioners classify the breast cysts in two major categories, namely the benign and malignant tumors. Medical doctors state that eighty percent of the biopsied breast cysts are observed to be benign (noncancerous cell/tissue). Even though such breast cysts are benign in nature, it has to be removed surgically to avert its interference with the normal functioning of the breasts. The malignant breast tumors are cancerous, and if it is not diagnosed and treated premature, it will cause severe damage to the neighboring cells and tissues. It gets spread to the nearby lymph glands (nodes) These malignant cancerous cells start spreading throughout the body via the lymph system and bloodstream, which is Sensors 2020, 20, 432; doi:10.3390/s20020432 www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors
