ABSTRACT
Content based medical image retrieval systems are helpful to the radiologists in
diagnosis of breast cancer. Thispaper presents amethod for retrievingmammogram
images as cancer or normal by using bandelet transform.Bandelet transform is
appropriateforanalysisofedgesandtexturesofimagesbasedonwhichimagefeatures
are extracted. The main contribution in this paper is of three directions. First, Pre‐
processing isvery important tocorrectandadjust themammogramimage for further
studyandprocessing.Second,featureextractionisakeyissueincontentbasedmedical

graphical user interface and classified by using KNN. Classification accuracy and
precisionof93.737%and0.945areobtained.

1. INTRODUCTION
In CBMIR system, the term [CBIR]
describes the process of retrieving
desired images from a large collection
onthebasisoffeatures(suchascolour,
texture and shape) that can be
automaticallyextractedfromtheimages
themselves. The features which are

extracted from an image can uniquely
identify an image from others. The
extraction of features from the image
pixels is termed as feature extraction.
Using the extracted features from the
process of feature extraction, similarity
between indexed image and query
imageismeasured.
Breast cancer is the leading type of
cancer inwomen and the secondmost
fatal type of cancer in women .Breast
cancer is amalignant tumor that starts
in the cells of the breast. A malignant
tumorisacollectionofcancercellsthat
canproduceinto(overrun)neighboring
tissuesorspreadtodistantareasofthe
body.Thediseaseoccursaroundwholly
inwomen,but in some casesmenalso.
In themedical imaging context the aim
of CBIR is to provide radiologists with
thediagnosticaidintheformofdisplay
ofrelevantpastcasesalongwithproven
pathology and other suitable
information. Medical image data have
been expanded rapidly in quantity,
content and dimension – due to an
enormous increase in the number of
diverse clinical exams performed in
digital form and to the large range of
image modalities available. It has,
therefore, led to an increased demand
for efficient medical image data
retrieval and management. In current
medical image databases, images are
mainly indexed and retrieved by
alphanumerical keywords, classified by
human experts. However, purely text‐
based retrieval methods are unable to
sufficiently describe the rich visual
propertiesorfeaturesinsidetheimages
content, and therefore pose significant
limitations on medical image data
retrieval. The ability to search by
medical image content is becoming
increasingly important, especially with
the current trend toward evidence‐
based practice of medicine. In the
clinical practice of reading and
interpreting medical images, clinicians
(i.e., radiologists) often refer to and
compare thesimilarcaseswithverified
diagnostic results in their decision
making of detecting and diagnosing
suspiciouslesionsordiseases.However,
searchingforandidentifyingthesimilar
reference cases (or images) from the
large and diverse clinical databases
(either the conventional film/paper
based libraries or advanced digital
image storage systems) is a quite
difficult task. The advance in digital
technologiesforcomputing,networking,
and database storage has enabled the
automated searching for clinically
relevant and visually similar medical

examinations (cases) to the queried
case from the large image databases.
There are two types of general
approaches in medical image retrieval
namely, the text (or semantic) based
imageretrieval(TBIR)andthecontent‐
basedimageretrieval(CBIR).Currently,
themostofavailablesearchsystems(or
tools) developed and implemented in
medical informatics and picture
archiving and communication systems
(PACS)useTBIRschemesthatarebased
ontheannotatedtextual informationto
select similar or clinically relevant
references (cases) [1‐4]. This approach
is typically limited to retrieve or select
the same type of medical images (i.e.,
mammograms or CT brain images).
However, the relevant clinical
informationdepictedonmedicalimages
is locally presented (i.e., breastmasses
depicted on mammograms
andemphysemalesionsdepictedonlung
CT images). In the clinical practice of
reading and interpreting medical
images, the nature of the queried
suspicious regions is often un‐
determined. Thus, the CBIR is the only
available and reliable approach to
retrieve the clinically relevant
(reference)casesalongwiththeproven
pathology and other related clinical
information. As a result, developing
CBIR schemes has been attracting
extensive research interest in theareas
ofmedicalinformaticsandPACSforthe
lastdecade[5‐10].Despite the fact that
CBIR approach is still in its early
development stage facing many
technical challenges (i.e., region
segmentation, semantic gap, and
computational efficiency), as the digital
medical images are produced in ever
increasing quantities and used for
diagnosis and therapy, the researchers
believe that the advance of CBIR
development will play more and more
important role in futuremedical image
diagnosis and patient treatment (or
management)[11].
Mammography is one of the effective
toolsinearlydetectionofbreastcancer.
Mammography is a low dose x‐ray
procedure for the visualization of
internal structure of breast.
Mammography has been proven the
most reliable method and it is the key
screeningtoolfortheearlydetectionof
breast cancer. Mammography is highly
accurate, but likemostmedical tests, it
is not perfect. On average,
mammography will detect about 80–
90% of the breast cancers in women
withoutsymptoms.

The common characteristics of the
medical images like as unknown noise,
poor image contrast, in homogeneity,
weak boundaries and unrelated parts
will affect the content of the medical
images. This problem rectified by pre‐
processing techniques. The pre‐
processingarefundamentalstepsinthe
medical image processing to produce
better image quality for segmentation
andfeatureextractions.
2. PROPOSEDMETHOD
THEBANDELETTRANSFORM
Bandelet transform, introduced by Le
PennecandMallatbuilt abaseadapted
to the geometric content of an image.
The bandelet are obtained from a local
deformation of space to align the
direction of regularity with a fixed
direction (horizontal or vertical) and is
reduced to a separable basis. In
bandelettransform,ageometricflowof
vectorsisdefinedtorepresenttheedges
of image. These vectors give the local
directions in which the image has
regular variations. Orthogonal bandelet
bases are constructed by dividing the
image support in regions inside which
the geometric flow is parallel. Image is
portioned into small regions, each
region includes almost one contour. If
theregiondoesnotincludeanycontour,
the imageintensity isuniformandflow
isnotdefined.Inbandelettheseregions

Standard wavelet bases are optimal to
represent functions with point wise
singularities. However they fail to
capture the geometric regularity along

consists of thekclosest training
examples in thefeature space. The
output depends on whetherk‐NN is
usedforclassificationorregression:
Ink‐NNclassification, theoutput
is a class membership. An object is
classified by a majority vote of its
neighbors, with the object being
assigned to the class most common
among itsknearest neighbors (kis a
positiveinteger,typicallysmall).Ifk=1,
thentheobjectissimplyassignedtothe
classofthatsinglenearestneighbor.
Ink‐NNregression, theoutput is
the property value for the object. This
value is the average of the values of
itsknearestneighbors.
k‐NN is a type ofinstance‐based
learning, orlazy learning, where the
function is only approximated locally
and all computation is deferred until
classification. Thek‐NN algorithm is
among the simplest of allmachine
learningalgorithms.
Bothforclassificationandregression,it
can be useful to weight the
contributions of the neighbors, so that
