Abstract
An accurate and efficient computer-aided mammography diagnosis system plays an important role as a second opinion to assist radiologists. Finding an accurate and robust computer-aided diagnosis system for classification of the abnormalities in the mammograms as malignant or benign still remains a challenge in the digital mammography. In this paper, a fully autonomous classification system is presented and it consists of the three stages. The input Regions of Interest (ROIs) are obtained using an efficient Otsu's N thresholding and further subjected to a number of preprocessing stages. After preprocessing stage, from the ROIs, a group of 32 Zernike moments with different orders and iterations have been extracted. These moments have been applied to the neural network classifier. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient comparing to the ground truth table given in the Mammography Image Analysis Society (MIAS) database.
