Conference Object Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Computer-Aided Classification of Breast Cancer Histopathological Images(IEEE345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2017-10) Aksebzeci, Bekir Hakan; Kayaalti, OmerNowadays, one of the most common types of cancer is breast cancer. The early and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer has great importance in the treatment of the disease. In the diagnosis of breast cancer, histopathological analysis of cell and tissue specimens taken by biopsy is considered as the gold standard. Histopathological analysis is a tedious process that is highly dependent on the knowledge and experience of the pathologists. In this study; it is aimed to develop a computer-aided system that can reduce the workload of pathologists and help them in their diagnosis. An image set containing benign and malignant tumor images of breast cancer has been studied. To perform texture analysis on tumor images; first order statistics, Gabor and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) feature extraction methods have been applied. Then, various classifiers were applied to the obtained feature matrices and their performances were compared. The highest classification accuracy was achieved 82.06% by Random Forests classifier with feature combination of Gabor and GLCM methods. The results presented here show that computer-assisted diagnosis of breast cancer is a promising field.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 32Liver Fibrosis Staging Using CT Image Texture Analysis and Soft Computing(Elsevier, 2014-12) Kayaalti, Omer; Aksebzeci, Bekir Hakan; Karahan, Ibrahim Okkes; Deniz, Kemal; Ozturk, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Bulent; Asyali, Musa HakanLiver biopsy is considered to be the gold standard for analyzing chronic hepatitis and fibrosis; however, it is an invasive and expensive approach, which is also difficult to standardize. Medical imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging are non-invasive and helpful methods to interpret liver texture, and may be good alternatives to needle biopsy. Recently, instead of visual inspection of these images, computer-aided image analysis based approaches have become more popular. In this study, a non-invasive, low-cost and relatively accurate method was developed to determine liver fibrosis stage by analyzing some texture features of liver CT images. In this approach, some suitable regions of interests were selected on CT images and a comprehensive set of texture features were obtained from these regions using different methods, such as Gray Level Co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), Laws' method, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), and Gabor filters. Afterwards, sequential floating forward selection and exhaustive search methods were used in various combinations for the selection of most discriminating features. Finally, those selected texture features were classified using two methods, namely, Support Vector Machines (SVM) and k-nearest neighbors (k-NN). The mean classification accuracy in pairwise group comparisons was approximately 95% for both classification methods using only 5 features. Also, performance of our approach in classifying liver fibrosis stage of subjects in the test set into 7 possible stages was investigated. In this case, both SVM and k-NN methods have returned relatively low classification accuracies. Our pairwise group classification results showed that DWT, Gabor, GLCM, and Laws' texture features were more successful than the others; as such features extracted from these methods were used in the feature fusion process. Fusing features from these better performing families further improved the classification performance. The results show that our approach can be used as a decision support system in especially pairwise fibrosis stage comparisons. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
