In this paper, we develop a detection module with strong training testing to develop a dense convolutional neural network model.
The model is designed in such a way that it is trained with necessary features for optimal modelling of the cancer detection. The
method involves preprocessing of computerized tomography (CT) images for optimal classification at the testing stages. A 10-fold
cross-validation is conducted to test the reliability of the model for cancer detection. The experimental validation is conducted in
python to validate the effectiveness of the model. The result shows that the model offers robust detection of cancer instances that
novel approaches on large image datasets. The simulation result shows that the proposed method provides analyzes with 94%
accuracy than other methods. Also, it helps to reduce the detection errors while classifying the cancer instances than other
methods the several existing methods.
1. Introduction
When it comes to breast cancer screening, digital mammogra-
phy (DM) is the gold standard for women who have no signs
or symptoms of the disease. In a diagnostic setting, it has been
demonstrated that DM can reduce breast cancer mortality.
Rather than seeing clinical images as only graphical represen-
tations, advances in medical image analysis have made to con-
sider multidimensional data [1]. It is the process of analyzing
medical images to extract information that is of interest to
researchers that is referred to as radiomics. With the help of
high-throughput computing approaches, it is possible to
develop mathematical models and classifiers for diagnostic
decision assistance [1], which analyze images and extract a
