Breast Cancer Detection Technique and a Way to Data Provenance

Abstract

Breast cancer which is one of the most common diseases is mostly detected at 3rd or 4th stage when the mortality rate becomes high. Hence in order to detect this at an earlier stage the concern person needs to go through mammography (cost of this procedure is lower than biopsy) screening at regular intervals. In case a radiologist is unable to decide he may take assistance from a computer aided system. A CAD system with GLCM and RBFNN with accuracy of 97.3% is designed with improved confidence (efficiency and reliability) by the use of data provenance. In this design all the relevant medical data (demographic, medical history) is stored and processed for making a better and an informed decision.
