ViT-MAENB7: An innovative breast cancer diagnosis model from 3D mammograms using advanced segmentation and classification process

Tumors are an important health concern in modern times. Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent causes of death for women. Breast cancer is rapidly becoming the leading cause of mortality among women globally. Early detection of breast cancer allows patients to obtain appropriate therapy, increasing their probability of survival. The adoption of 3-Dimensional (3D) mammography for the medical identification of abnormalities in the breast reduced the number of deaths dramatically. Classification and accurate detection of lumps in the breast in 3D mammography is especially difficult due to factors such as inadequate contrast and normal fluctuations in tissue density. Several Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) solutions are under development to help radiologists accurately classify abnormalities in the breast. In this paper, a breast cancer diagnosis model is implemented to detect breast cancer in cancer patients to prevent death rates. The 3D mammogram images are gathered from the internet. Then, the gathered images are given to the preprocessing phase. The preprocessing is done using a median filter and image scaling method. The purpose of the preprocessing phase is to enhance the quality of the images and remove any noise or artifacts that may interfere with the detection of abnormalities. The median filter helps to smooth out any irregularities in the images, while the image scaling method adjusts the size and resolution of the images for better analysis. Once the preprocessing is complete, the preprocessed image is given to the segmentation phase. The segmentation phase is crucial in medical image analysis as it helps to identify and separate different structures within the image, such as organs or tumors. This process involves dividing the preprocessed image into meaningful regions or segments based on intensity, color, texture, or other features. The segmentation process is done using Adaptive Thresholding with Region Growing Fusion Model (AT-RGFM)”. This model combines the advantages of both thresholding and region-growing techniques to accurately identify and delineate specific structures within the image. By utilizing AT-RGFM, the segmentation phase can effectively differentiate between different parts of the image, allowing for more precise analysis and diagnosis. It plays a vital role in the medical image analysis process, providing crucial insights for healthcare professionals. Here, the Modified Garter Snake Optimization Algorithm (MGSOA) is used to optimize the parameters. It helps to optimize parameters for accurately identifying and delineating specific structures within medical images and also helps healthcare professionals in providing more precise analysis and diagnosis, ultimately playing a vital role in the medical image analysis process. MGSOA enhances the segmentation phase by effectively differentiating between different parts of the image, leading to more accurate results. Then, the segmented image is fed into the detection phase. The tumor detection is performed by the Vision Transformer-based Multiscale Adaptive EfficientNetB7 (ViT-MAENB7) model. This model utilizes a combination of advanced algorithms and deep learning techniques to accurately identify and locate tumors within the segmented medical image. By incorporating a multiscale adaptive approach, the ViT-MAENB7 model can analyze the image at various levels of detail, improving the overall accuracy of tumor detection. This crucial step in the medical image analysis process allows healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions regarding patient treatment and care. Here, the created MGSOA algorithm is used to optimize the parameters for enhancing the performance of the model. The suggested breast cancer diagnosis performance is compared to conventional cancer diagnosis models and it showed high accuracy. The accuracy of the developed MGSOA-ViT-MAENB7 is 96.6 %, and others model like RNN, LSTM, EffNet, and ViT-MAENet given the accuracy to be 90.31 %, 92.79 %, 94.46 % and 94.75 %. The developed model's ability to analyze images at multiple scales, combined with the optimization provided by the MGSOA algorithm, results in a highly accurate and efficient system for detecting tumors in medical images. This cutting-edge technology not only improves the accuracy of diagnosis but also helps healthcare professionals tailor treatment plans to individual patients, ultimately leading to better outcomes. By outperforming traditional cancer diagnosis models, the proposed model is revolutionizing the field of medical imaging and setting a new standard for precision and effectiveness in healthcare.
