Quantitative feature classification for breast ultrasound images using improved naive bayes

Abstract

The quantitative feature classification of breast ultrasound images can explore the intrinsic connection between image features and lesions, and become an important basis for the diagnosis of tumor nature in clinical medicine. However, the tumor features extracted from breast ultrasound images are generally based on the overall situation, which has an impact on the classification of features in ultrasound images. Therefore, a quantitative feature classification algorithm for breast ultrasound images using improved Naive Bayes (NB) is proposed. First, histogram features, grayscale co-generation matrix and other texture features are extracted from the ultrasound image. Second, NB is combined with decision tree calculation to improve the traditional NB algorithm. Finally, feature classification is optimized using improved NB algorithm to achieve high accuracy in the classification of ultrasound images. The results show that the contour of the lesion recognition results obtained by the proposed algorithm is the most complete, and the other regions can maximize the retention of the texture features of the original image. The classification accuracy is high, and the classification time of quantitative features of breast ultrasound images is short. It has application value in the field of breast ultrasound diagnosis.
