Resumen
Breast cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancers that infect females in the whole world. It has happened when the cells in breast tissues start to grow in an uncontrollable way. Because it leads to death, early detection and diagnosis is a very important task to save the patient's life. Due to the restriction of human observers, computer plays a significant role in detecting early cancer signs. The proposed system uses a multi-resolution analysis and a top-hat operation for detecting the suspicious regions in a mammogram image. The discrete wavelet transform feature analysis is utilized for extracting features from the region of interest. Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) are utilized for classifying the tumor into normal or abnormal. The differences between the proposed system and other researches are the use of adaptive threshold value depending on each image, by using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in both segmentation and feature extraction phases, which decrease complexity and time. Additionally, the detection of more than one tumor in the breast mammogram image and the utilization of FL and PNN work on increasing the system efficiency that led to raising the accuracy rate of the system and reducing the time. The obtained results of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were equal to 99 %, 98 %, and 47 %, respectively, and these results showed that the proposed system is more accurate than the other previous related works
