Diagnóstico de Câncer de Mama em Mamografias baseado na Análise da Diversidade de Padrões Circulares
Abstract
This article aims to provide a better technique for analysis of texture in mammography images, to improve the diagnostic rate of breast cancer. The diagnosis made by a specialist depends on factors such as experience, quality of mammography and the patient’s own characteristics. The study seeks to use computational methods in order to provide a second opinion to the expert, using image representation techniques in the form of quantized circular patterns through co-occurrence matrices. After the representation, the texture is calculated through the diversity of analysis and classified using Support Vector Machines.
