Mammogram tissue density has been found to be a strong indicator for breast cancer risk. Efforts in computer vision of breast parenchymal pattern have been made in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy by radiologists. Motivated by recent results in mammogram tissue density classification, a novel methodology for automatic American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System classification using local binary pattern variance descriptor is presented in this article. The proposed approach characterizes the local density in different types of breast tissue patterns information into the LBP histogram. The performance of macro-calcification detection methods is developed using FARABI database. Performance results are given in terms of receiver operating characteristic. The area under curve of the corresponding approach has been found to be 79%.

Mammography is the most efficient technique for detecting and diagnosing breast cancer. Clusters of microcalcifications have been mainly targeted as a reliable early sign of breast cancer and their earliest detection is essential to reduce the probability of mortality rate. Since the size of microcalcifications is very tiny and may be overlooked by the observing radiologist, we have developed a Computer Aided Diagnosis system for automatic and accurate cluster detection. A three-phased novel approach is presented in this paper. Firstly, regions of interest that corresponds to microcalcifications are identified. This can be achieved by analyzing the bandpass coefficients of the mammogram image. The suspicious regions are passed to the second phase, in which the nodular structured microcalcifications are detected based on eigenvalues of second order partial derivatives of the image and microcalcification pixels are segmented out by exploiting the foveal segmentation in multiscale analysis. Finally, by combining the responses coming out from the second order partial derivatives and the foveal method, potential microcalcifications are detected.The detection performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by using 370 mammograms. The detection method has a TP ratio of 97.76 % with 0.68 false positives per image. We have examined the performance of our computerized scheme using free-response operating characteristics curve.
