A hybrid deep learning based assist system for detection and classification of breast cancer from mammogram images

Abstract

The most common cancer disease among all women is breast cancer. This type of disease is caused due to genetic mutation of ageing and lack of awareness. The tumour that occurred may be a benign type which is a non-dangerous and malignant type that is dangerous. The Mammography technique utilizes the early detection of breast cancer. A Novel Deep Learning technique that combines the deep convolutional neural networks and the random forest classifier is proposed to detect and categorize Breast cancer. The feature extraction is carried over by the AlexNet model of the Deep Convolutional Neural Network and the classifier precision is increased by Random Forest Classifier. The images are collected from the various Mammogram images of predefined datasets. The performance results confirm that the projected scheme has enhanced performance compared with the state-of-art schemes.
