  • Abstract
    In this paper we will address two major problems in mammogram analysis for breast cancer in MR-images. The first is classification between normal and abnormal cases and then, discrimination between benign and malignant in cancerous cases. Our proposed method extracts textural and statistical descriptive features that are fed to a learning engine based on the use of support vector machine learning framework to categorize them. The obtained results show excellent accuracy in both classification problems, that proves the appropriate combination of our features and selecting powerful classifier i.e. Support Vector Machine leads us to a brilliant outcome.
