Nonlinear algorithm of pattern recognition for computer-aided diagnosis of breast cancer

From MaRDI portal





The process of the diagnosis of a malignant tumor in the mammary gland consists of three stages: 1) First, on the basis of a scrape from a mucous coat of the oral cavity we must obtain a data set containing about 10-30 cells. 2) On the second stage, we use the Feulgan reaction to obtain the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) scanogram of the interphase nuclei of the above cells. We then record the main indices (all together 15) of the scanograms of the interphase nuclei of these cells: \(x_1\), \(x_2, \dots, x_{15}\). We call the vector \(x_c= (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{15})\) the indication vector of the cell \(C\). (It is not necessary to use only these indices; other indices could be suggested which might provide more information and better accuracy for estimating the probability of the onset of malignancy in breast tumor.) Thus, for every cell, for example cell number \(i\), we get 15 indices \(x_1^{(i)}, x_2^{(i)}, \dots, x_{15}^{(i)}\), where \(i=1,2, \dots,n\) \((10\leq n\leq 30)\). 3) On the third stage we apply the special algorithms of statistical and geometrical theory of pattern recognition for detecting malignant tissue in the mammary gland and for differencing the diagnosis of breast cancer from fibroadenoma.
