Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new region-based method for detecting mass tumors in digital mammograms. Our method uses principal component analysis (PCA) techniques to reduce the image data into a subspace with significantly reduced dimensionality using an optimal linear transformation. After the transformation, classification in the subspace is performed using a nearest neighbor classifier. We consider the detection of only mass abnormalities in this study. Micro calcifications, spiculated lesions, and other abnormalities are not considered. We implemented our method and achieved a 93% correct detection rate for mass abnormalities in our tests.
