Abstract

In this paper, a novel fully automatic classification method of breast tumors using ultrasound (US) image is proposed. The proposed method can be divided into two steps: “ROI generation step” and “ROI classification step”. In the ROI generation step, the proposed method fo-cuses on finding a credible ROI instead of finding the precise location of the breast tumor. In the ROI classification step, lo-cal textures in the ROI are considered with a novel strategy. Both steps were implemented by utilizing supervised tex-ture classification approach. The experi-ments demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and useful for classi-fying breast tumors.
