Analytical Optimization of X-ray Mammography for Increased Benefits and Safety; using: Data Analytics, Electronics Engineering and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Objective: To analyse, understand and investigate common X-ray Mammography techniques, terminologies and properties; and how the X-ray Mammography systems can be optimized for a safer, more effective, more efficient, more energy efficient procedure for breast cancer diagnosis; using Deep Learning (DL)/ Artificial Intelligence (AI), Analytical, Electronic Engineering, tools and Methodologies. Methods: Using data and breast cancer image datasets from validated open source data stores; investigative and comparative analyses were carried out on common X-ray Mammography techniques in relation to breast cancer diagnosis and treatments for Women; as well as optimization analyses using Electronic engineering principles and Artificial Intelligence principles on the quality, intensity, radiation photon energy, HVL(Half Value Layer), Tube current-time product, Metal filters properties (e.g. K-edge energy cut off), and classification validation accuracy of the X-ray Mammography properties, procedure, processes and systems. The methodical and data-driven analyses were carried out using the following Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Electronic Engineering, methodologies and algorithms: Data Analytics, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in Machine Learning (ML) Engineering, and X-ray-Impedance Circuit Composite System Analysis
