An intelligent computer-aided diagnosis system can be very helpful for radiologist in detecting and diagnosing microcalcifications’ patterns earlier and faster than typical screening programs. In this paper, we present a system based on fuzzy-C Means clustering and feature extraction techniques using texture based segmentation and genetic algorithm for detecting and diagnosing micro calcifications’ patterns in digital mammograms.We have investigated and analyzed a number of feature extraction techniques and found that a combination of three features, such as entropy, standard deviation, and number of pixels, is the best combination to distinguish a benign micro calcification pattern from one that is malignant. A fuzzy C Means technique in conjunction with three features was used to detect a micro calcification pattern and a neural network to classify it into benign/malignant. The system was developed on a Windows platform. It is an easy to use intelligent system that gives the user options to diagnose, detect, enlarge, zoom, and measure distances of areas in digital mammograms. The present study focused on the investigation of the application of artificial intelligence and data mining techniques to the prediction models of breast cancer. The artificial neural network, decision tree,Fuzzy C Means, and genetic algorithm were used for the comparative studies and the accuracy and positive predictive value of each algorithm were used as the evaluation indicators. 699 records acquired from the breast cancer patients at the MIAS database, 9 predictor variables, and 1 outcome variable were incorporated for the data analysis followed by the 10-fold cross-validation. The results revealed that the accuracies of Fuzzy C Means were 0.9534 (sensitivity 0.98716 and specificity 0.9582), the decision tree model 0.9634 (sensitivity 0.98615, specificity 0.9305), the neural network model 0.96502 (sensitivity 0.98628, specificity 0.9473), the genetic algorithm model 0.9878 (sensitivity 1, specificity 0.9802). The accuracy of the genetic algorithm was significantly higher than the average predicted accuracy of 0.9612. The predicted outcome of the Fuzzy C Means model was higher than that of the neural network model but no significant difference was observed. The average predicted accuracy of the decision tree model was 0.9635 which was the lowest of all 4 predictive models. The standard deviation of the 10-fold cross-validation was rather unreliable. The results showed that the genetic algorithm described in the present study was able to produce accurate results in the classification of breast cancer data and the classification rule identified was more acceptable and comprehensible. Keywords: Fuzzy C Means, Decision Tree Induction, Genetic algorithm, data mining, breast cancer, rule discovery.
