Abstract

Identification and segmentation of breast masses in mammograms face complex challenges, owing to the highly variable nature of malignant densities with regards to their shape, contours, texture and orientation. Additionally, classifiers typically suffer from high class imbalance in region candidates, where normal tissue regions vastly outnumber malignant masses. This paper proposes a rigorous segmentation method, supported by morphological enhancement using grayscale linear filters. A novel cascaded ensemble of support vector machines (SVM) is used to effectively tackle the class imbalance and provide significant predictions. For True Positive Rate (TPR) of 0.35, 0.69 and 0.82, the system generates only 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 False Positives/Image (FPI), respectively.
