Performance evaluation of clustering algorithms on microcalcifications as mammography findings

Breast cancer can be prevented with regular mammography screening. Yet, the incorporation of Computational Intelligence relies on training classifiers on a set of predefined Regions of Interest (ROIs). Data Clustering has been applied to address the problem of ROI detection, yet no extensive research has been carried out on which algorithm to utilize. This contribution focuses on microcalcification clustering as a Data Clustering application, giving insights concerning the performance of three main clustering algorithms.
