Combining support vector machine with genetic algorithm to classify ultrasound breast tumor images

Wu, Wen-Jie, Lin, Shih-Wei, Moon, Woo Kyung·2012·Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics

Abstract

To promote the classification accuracy and decrease the time of extracting features and finding (near) optimal classification model of an ultrasound breast tumor image computer-aided diagnosis system, we propose an approach which simultaneously combines feature selection and parameter setting in this study. In our approach ultrasound breast tumors were segmented automatically by a level set method. The auto-covariance texture features and morphologic features were first extracted following the use of a genetic algorithm to detect significant features and determine the near-optimal parameters for the support vector machine (SVM) to identify the tumor as benign or malignant. The proposed CAD system can differentiate benign from malignant breast tumors with high accuracy and short feature extraction time. According to the experimental results, the accuracy of the proposed CAD system for classifying breast tumors is 95.24% and the computing time of the proposed system for calculating features of all breast tumor images is only 8% of that of a system without feature selection. Furthermore, the time of finding (near) optimal classification model is significantly than that of grid search. It is therefore clinically useful in reducing the number of biopsies of benign lesions and offers a second reading to assist inexperienced physicians in avoiding misdiagnosis.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Single feature often cannot detect all fine details of a US image, and fusion of features outperforms single feature by providing more latent and intrinsic information.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
