Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer. Statistics show that breast cancer causes the second highest mortality in women worldwide and around two million new cases were diagnosed every year. Accurate classification of breast cancer has acquired high importance for proper diagnosis which can save doctors and physiologist time. The breast, which contains fatty tissue is more vulnerable to cancer. In this paper, we classify a set of breast images based on Fatty tissue and non-Fatty tissue using a concatenated statistical, structural and textural feature set. For the classification, we have used Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Neural Network (NN) techniques as a classifier tool. Investigation shows that concatenated statistical, structural and textural features provide better classification result.
