Breast Cancer Detection and Classification using Traditional Computer Vision Techniques: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

: Breast Cancer is a common dangerous disease for women. In the world, many women died due to Breast cancer. However, in the initial stage, the diagnosis of breast cancer can save women's life. To diagnose cancer in the breast tissues there are several techniques and methods. The image processing, machine learning and deep learning methods and techniques are presented in this paper to diagnose the breast cancer. This work will be helpful to adopt better choices and reliable methods to diagnose breast cancer in an initial stage to survive the women's life. To detect the breast masses, microcalcifications, malignant cells the different techniques are used in the Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems phases like preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. We have been reported a detailed analysis of different techniques or methods with their usage and performance measurement. From the reported results, it is concluded that for the survival of women’s life it is essential to improve the methods or techniques to diagnose breast cancer at an initial stage by improving the results of the Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems. Furthermore, segmentation and classification phases are challenging for researchers for the diagnosis of breast cancer accurately. Therefore, more advanced tools and techniques are still essential for the accurate diagnosis and classification of breast cancer.

Novel and accurate non-linear index for the automated detection of haemorrhagic brain stroke using CT images

“…It was observed that the entropies are efficiently used to analyse medical data, i.e., 1D signals and 2D signals [52][53][54][55]. Hence, seven entropies (10)…”

“…Furthermore, the irregularities and complexities associated with varied shapes and sizes of haemorrhagic lesions with time will also make the process more difficult and strenuous. Moreover, the process can become a laborious and daunting task, particularly in large clinical settings, which can introduce inadvertent error and delay [10][11][12][13][14]. This can cause additional morbidity and even mortality to the patient.…”

Prediction of COVID-19 - Pneumonia based on Selected Deep Features and One Class Kernel Extreme Learning Machine

“…For the infected region, complete knowledge is essential, so that a relevant label is assigned. However, due to textural and color variations, the classification task becomes more complex [29] . However, deep methods came with the property of extracting relevant information, and also have a tendency to learn from the complex features.…”

Efficient computer‐aided diagnosis technique for leukaemia cancer detection

“…Apart from leukaemia cancer, there are also some approaches developed for medical image for segmenting and detecting different cancers such as in [27–33]. The rest of this paper focuses on the extension and further refinement of the strategy of using digital image processing to increase the accuracy rate for ALL‐leukaemia cell detection.…”
