Abstract

In this paper, we describe the evaluation of the effects of mammographic semantic information in breast cancer diagnoses. A brief description of relations between semantic information and image features are given. We demonstrate the experiments based on mammographic semantic information and the MIAS database. Mammograms were annotated by expert radiologists with semantic information and assigned NHSBSP five-point score. Two classifiers were applied to automatically classify the mammogram into NHSBSP five-point score using the semantic information and radiologists also classified the mammograms by their own annotated semantic information. The analysis of the experimental results provides further understanding when using mammographic semantic information in breast cancer diagnosis. It also indicated a common knowledge base and links between computers and human experts.
