Why This Project?
• Breast Cancer is the most common cancer and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths
• Mammographic screening reduces the mortality of breast cancer
• But, mammography has low positive predictive value PPV (only 35% have malignancies)
• Goal of Computer Aided Detection (CAD) is to provide a second reading, hence reducing the false positive rate

What is a Mammogram?
• A Mammogram is an x-ray image of the breast. Mammography is the procedure used to generate a mammogram
• The equipment used to obtain a mammogram, however, is very different from that used to perform an x-ray of chest or bones

Mammograms (cont.)
• In order to get a good image, the breast must be flattened or compressed
• In a standard examination, two images of each breast are taken: one from the top
(CC) and one from the side (MLO)
![Page 6: A Computer Aided Detection System For Mammograms Based on Asymmetry and Feature Extraction Techniques By Mohammed Jirari Benidorm, Spain Sept 9th, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d785503460f94a5a964/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mammogram Examples
Mammogram of a left breast, cranio-caudal (from the top) view
Mammogram of a left breast, medio-lateral oblique (from the side) view
![Page 7: A Computer Aided Detection System For Mammograms Based on Asymmetry and Feature Extraction Techniques By Mohammed Jirari Benidorm, Spain Sept 9th, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d785503460f94a5a964/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Purpose of CAD
• Mammography is the most reliable method in early detection of breast cancer
• But, due to the high number of mammograms to be read, the accuracy rate tends to decrease
• Double reading of mammograms has been proven to increase the accuracy, but at high cost
• CAD can assist the medical staff to achieve high efficiency and effectiveness
• The physician/radiologist makes the call not CAD
![Page 8: A Computer Aided Detection System For Mammograms Based on Asymmetry and Feature Extraction Techniques By Mohammed Jirari Benidorm, Spain Sept 9th, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d785503460f94a5a964/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Proposed Method
• The proposed method will assist the physician by providing a second opinion on reading the mammogram, by pointing out area(s) that are different between the right and left breasts
• If the two readings are similar, no more work is to be done
• If they are different, the radiologist will take a second look to make the final diagnosis

Data Used
• The dataset used is the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) MINIMIAS database containing Medio-Lateral Oblique (MLO) views for each breast for 161 patients for a total of 322 imagesEach image is: 1024 pixels X 1024 pixels

Normalization
The images were corrected/normalized to avoid differences in brightness between the right and left mammograms

Mammogram Registration
• Thermodynamic concepts are used
• Match a model M with a scene S (M must be deformed to resemble S as much as possible)
• Use diffusion process technique as follows:
![Page 12: A Computer Aided Detection System For Mammograms Based on Asymmetry and Feature Extraction Techniques By Mohammed Jirari Benidorm, Spain Sept 9th, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d785503460f94a5a964/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mammogram Registration (cont.)
1. Select pixels to be demons
2. For each demon, store displacement then apply Gaussian filter
3. Use trilinear interpolation to estimate intermediate intensities
4. The demon force is given by optical flow

Mammogram Subtraction
• Simple linear subtraction is used
• Flipped right – left
• Most common gray level is 0
• Masses in right breast are in lower gray level region of subtraction image histogram, while left breast masses are in the higher gray level region

Feature Extraction
• Many features are not masses
• Morphological filtering using a 3X3 kernel
• Size test (100 pixels)
• Border test for border misalignment
![Page 19: A Computer Aided Detection System For Mammograms Based on Asymmetry and Feature Extraction Techniques By Mohammed Jirari Benidorm, Spain Sept 9th, 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d785503460f94a5a964/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Avg. # of areas after each stage of the detection process
Stage in detection process Avg. # of detected areas
After subtraction 13.65
After morphological filtering 7.80
After size test 5.42
After border test 2.17

Future work
• Use more features like brightness and directionality
• Try and reduce False Negatives on the basis of region characteristics size, difference in homogeneity and entropy
• Use larger database that contains both MLO and CC to train/learn, since most commercial CADs use hundreds of thousands of mammograms to try and recognize foreign samples
