This work provides an overview of the research that has been done on using Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) for the diagnosis of breast cancer. The focus is on mammographic and histopathology images and the different techniques used for image pre-processing, segmentation, and classification. The accuracy of the different algorithms was evaluated on different datasets, including MIAS, IRMA, DDSM, and CBIS-DDSM, and the results showed that deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Random Forest, along with Multi-Layer Perception and Nave Bayes, were effective in detecting and classifying breast cancer. The results of these studies show the potential of CAD in making the diagnosis of breast cancer easier and more accurate. In the segmentation stage, the U-Net model has been modified to perform better in terms of accuracy. The DDSM database has been found to have a higher accuracy percentage compared to the MIAS and CBIS-DDSM databases. This indicates that the modified U-Net model has performed well on the DDSM database in terms of accurately segmenting the images. The use of Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) has improved the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis in mammography and histopathology images. The four-step process of preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification has proven to be effective in detecting malignant and benign tumors. Different algorithms like Naive Bayes, Multilayer Perception, Random Forest, and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) have been used with varying accuracy levels. The best results were obtained by using the modified U-Net model for segmentation and the Random Forest algorithm for classification, as they showed higher accuracy compared to other methods and databases. In this study it has been analyzed that the use of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) in mammography and histopathology images has shown promising results in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Different algorithms and techniques have been used to improve the accuracy of the classification of malignant and benign tumors. The MIAS database has shown the best results when using a Convolutional Neural Network approach. However, histopathology images have some limitations in comparison to radiologist images, but the use of CAD is still an important tool in cancer diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
