RESUMO

Breast cancer is a serious public health problem in several countries of the world. Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis systems (CAD/CADx) have been used with relative success in aid to health care professionals. The main contribution of this work is to present a methodology to discriminate and classify mammogram regions in mass and non-mass through spatial statistics. The spatial statistics techniques were used as texture descriptors. This work used Moran s Index, Geary s Coecient, Getis-Ord s Index and K of Ripley function for texture description. With this extracted features, a selection step is performed to get the most discriminating ones using Stepwise Discriminant Analysis. A Support Vector Machine is then used to classify the samples. The methodology reaches promising results for classication of masses and non-masses certifying that the features generated by the spatial statistical techniques generate a set of satisfactory discriminant features. Keywords: Pattern Recognition, Spatial Statistics, Support Vector Machine, Stepwise Discriminant Analysis
