This paper proposes a method for breast cancer
diagnosis in digital mammogram. The article focuses on using
texture analysis based on curvelet transform for the
classification of tissues. The most discriminative texture features
of regions of interest are extracted. Then, a nearest neighbor
classifier based on Euclidian distance is constructed. The
obtained results calculated using 5-fold cross validation. The
approach consists of two steps, detecting the abnormalities and
then classifies the abnormalities into benign and malignant
tumors.
