According to BIRADS mass shape characteristics, benign masses tend to have round, oval, lobular in shape and malignant masses are lobular or irregular in shape. Measuring regular and irregular shapes mathematically is found to be a difficult task, since there is no single measure to differentiate various shapes. In this paper, each mass is described by shape feature vector consists of 17 shape and margin features. The masses are classified into 4 categories such as either round, oval, lobular or irregular. Classifying masses into 4 categories is very difficult compared to classifying as benign vs malignant or normal vs abnormal. Since, only shape characteristics can be used to discriminate these 4 categories. Experiments have been conducted on standard images of The Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM) and classified using Neural Network (NN) Classifier. A total of 4 DDSM database mammograms are considered for experiment. Keywords: Digital Mammogram; Geometrical Shape and Margin features; Regular and Irregular masses; BI-RADS Categories; Computer Aided Diagnosis. I. INTRODUCTION The breast cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer among women causing death. First popular diagnostic tool for identifying breast cancer is Mammogram, which is an X-ray of the breast that can show the presence of abnormal growth of cells in breast. Breast cancer death rates have been dropping steadily since 1990, due to earlier detection and better treatments [1]. While various methods have been proposed and available for early detection and screening of breast cancers, the mammography is being considered as one of the most effective method. Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems have been developed to aid radiologists in diagnosing cancer from digital mammograms. Several studies have proved that CAD improves breast cancer diagnostic accuracy rate by 14.% []. In India, breast cancer accounts for 3% of all the female cancers followed by cervical cancers (17.5%) in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Calcutta, and Bangalore. According to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), it is reported that one in women in India are likely to suffer from breast cancer during her lifetime. Although the incidence is lower in India than in the developed countries, the burden of breast cancer in India is alarming. According to B.Niranjan Naik of cancer specialty Dharamshila hospital, almost 75,000 new cases of breast cancer are detected in India every year. And 0-5% of cancer cases in Indian women are breast cancer. Early detection is the key to avoid breast cancer. Earlier, breast cancer symptoms are found in women aged above 45, but with changing times and lifestyle, younger women are at risk of breast cancer. And in India, it is estimated that around 50,000-70,000 women die every year due to breast cancer. Literature Survey According to BI-RADS system, the masses can be characterized by shape, size, margins (borders) and density [3]. Benign masses are round and oval in shape and have smooth, circumscribed margins. The malignant masses are irregular shape and ill-

It has been observed that shape and margin characteristics can be effectively used for classifying the masses either as benign or malignant. Based on shape and margin features, some of the known approaches, which classify the abnormalities based on BI-RADS system, have been giving accurate results [4, 5]. Researchers have proposed and used various features for classifying the masses in mammograms. The statistical measures such as variance, uniformity, smoothness, third moment etc [6, 7, 8, and 9] have been used for classifying masses as either benign vs malignant or normal vs abnormal. These statistical measures are based on gray value or histogram of mammogram masses. However, the gray values of mammogram tend to change, due to over-enhancement or due to the presence of noise. Most of the recent works have been concentrated on classifying the mass using shape features [10, 11, 1]. In [10], Flores et al have used various geometric shape features for classifying it normal vs. calcifications and have obtained better results. In [11], Sun et al have used multi-resolution features for classifying the region either as normal or abnormal. In [1], Rojas et al used various shape features for classifying masses as benign or malignant and found to be effective in discriminating benign and malignant masses. In [13], the Beamlet transform is used to classify the mass as either oval, round, lobular and able to obtain classification rate of only 46%. This work is organized as follows. In Section, we present techniques for feature extraction using shape properties. In Section 4, we present the experiments results along with comparisons to existing methods. In section 5, we conclude the paper. II. MASS SHAPE FEATURE EXTRACTION A. Mass Shape Characteristics According to BIRADS mass shape characteristics, benign masses tend to have round, oval, lobular in shape and malignant masses are lobular or irregular in shape. Measuring regular and irregular shapes mathematically is found to be a difficult task, since there is no single measure to differentiate various shapes. The masses are classified into 4 categories such as either round, oval, lobular or irregular. Classifying masses into 4 categories is very difficult compared to classifying as benign vs malignant. Since, only shape characteristics can be used to discriminate these 4 categories. Figure 1: Shape Characteristics of Masses The Fig. 1 shows the mass shapes of mammogram specified by BIRADS system. Benign masses have round and oval shapes with circumscribed margin. It is noticed that benign masses are circular and convex in shape. Malignant masses have irregular shape with ill-defined, microlobulated or spiculated margins and malignant masses are irregular non-convex shapes. B. Shape Properties For the Experiments we have considered mammograms from DDSM Database [14]. And the ground truth available with each mammogram is used for measuring the classification rate. A total of 4 malignant masses are considered, out of which 11 are round, 8 are oval, 55 are lobular and 130 are irregular masses. Fig. shows the extracted sample benign and malignant masses from DDSM Database mammograms. In Table 1, we present the 19 shape properties used for extracting features from the mammogram masses[15.16]. For each ROI, the shape based properties are extracted and constructed as feature vector. Shapes feature vector, SFV= {mammogram, p t, mass_type}, where t=1 19 and p t is the shape property. The mass_type is either B or M to denote Benign and Malignant respectively.

CONCLUSION The proposed geometric shape and margin features based on min radius and max radius are found to be effective in classifying masses as round, oval, lobular and irregular. The accuracy obtained using these 17 features found to have high discriminating power for discriminating regular shapes from irregular shapes. As a future work, we will try to construct fuzzy membership function using these geometric shape and margin features.
