Classification of Benign and Malignant Breast Masses Based on Shape and Texture Features in Sonography Images

Abstract: The purpose of this research was evaluating novel shape and texture feature' efficiency in classification of benign and malignant breast masses in sonography images. First, mass regions were extracted from the region of interest (ROI) sub-image by implementing a new hybrid segmentation approach based on level set algorithms. Then two left and right side areas of the masses are elicited. After that, six features (Eccentricity_feature, Solidity_feature, DeferenceArea_Hull_Rectangular, DeferenceArea_Mass_Rectangu… Show more
