In the last few years, computerized tool play important role in detection of breast cancer. This paper proposes a method for breast cancer diagnosis in digital mammograms using GLCM (Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix) features. In this paper CAD (Computer Aided Diagnosis) system developed using GLCM feature and neural network. Mammography is an efficient tool for early detection of breast cancer. Computerized methods have recently show great tool in providing radiologists with second opinion about breast cancer diagnosis. Five GLCM features for mammogram images are extracted. Mammogram image is classified into normal image and cancer image. The effectiveness of this paper is examined on DDSM (Digital Database for Screening Mammography) database using classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The overall accuracy can be improved by most relevant GLCM features, which is selected by feature selection algorithm.

A: Mammographic density is considered a major risk factor for developing breast cancer. This paper proposes an automated approach to classify breast tissue types in digital mammogram. The main objective of the proposed Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system is to investigate various feature extraction methods and classifiers to improve the diagnostic accuracy in mammogram density classification. Texture analysis methods are used to extract the features from the mammogram. Texture features are extracted by using histogram, Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM), Gray Level Difference Matrix (GLDM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Entropy, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT), Gabor transform and trace transform. These extracted features are selected using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The features selected by ANOVA are fed into the classifiers to characterize the mammogram into two-class (fatty/dense) and three-class (fatty/glandular/dense) breast density classification. This work has been carried out by using the mini-Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) database. Five classifiers are employed namely, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Naive Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results show that ANN provides better performance than LDA, NB, KNN and SVM classifiers. The proposed methodology has achieved 97.5% accuracy for three-class and 99.37% for two-class density classification.
