Medical image analysis an attempt for mammogram classification using texture based association rule mining

Breast cancer, the most common type of cancer in women is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths. Due to this, early detection of cancer is the major concern for cancer treatment. The most common screening test called mammography is useful for early detection of cancer. It has been proven that there is potential raise in the cancers detected due to consecutive reading of mammograms. But this approach is not monetarily viable. Therefore there is a significant need of computer aided detection systems which can produce intended results and assist medical staff for accurate diagnosis. In this research we made an attempt to build classification system for mammograms using association rule mining based on texture features. The proposed system uses most relevant GLCM based texture features of mammograms. New method is proposed to form associations among different texture features by judging the importance of different features. Resultant associations can be used for classification of mammograms. Experiments are carried out using MIAS Image Database. The performance of the proposed method is compared with standard Apriori algorithm. It is found that performance of proposed method is better due to reduction in multiple times scanning of database which results in less computation time. We also investigated the use of association rules in the field of medical image analysis for the problem of mammogram classification.
