Breast cancer detection in mammograms using convolutional neural network

Breast cancer is among world's second most occurring cancer in all types of cancer. Most common cancer among women worldwide is breast cancer. There is always need of advancement when it comes to medical imaging. Early detection of cancer followed by the proper treatment can reduce the risk of deaths. Machine learning can help medical professionals to diagnose the disease with more accuracy. Where deep learning or neural networks is one of the techniques which can be used for the classification of normal and abnormal breast detection. CNN can be used for this detection. Mammograms-MIAS dataset is used for this purpose, having 322 mammograms in which almost 189 images are of normal and 133 are of abnormal breasts. Promising experimental results have been obtained which depict the efficacy of deep learning for breast cancer detection in mammogram images and further encourage the use of deep learning based modern feature extraction and classification methods in various medical imaging applications especially in breast cancer detection. It is an ongoing research and further developments are being made by optimizing the CNN architecture and also employing pre-trained networks which will hopefully lead to higher accuracy measures. Proper segmentation is mandatory for efficient feature extraction and classification.
