Abstract

In today's world, breast cancer presents a major health challenge, especially for women, necessitating advanced diagnostic methods to enhance patient outcomes. The disease is marked by the uncontrolled growth of breast cells, forming tumors that can spread if not detected early. To prevent complications from breast cancer, it is crucial to accurately detect and diagnose the condition, followed by providing timely and appropriate treatment. This research explores the use of deep learning to develop a more accurate and efficient system for breast cancer detection. Our methodology starts with the segmentation of ultrasound images using the U-Net algorithm to precisely identify and locate tumors. Post-segmentation, these images are classified using three different models: CNN, VGG19, and MobileNet, to determine if the tumors are benign, malignant, or normal. The findings from our research reveal that the CNN model attained an accuracy of 82%, followed by the MobileNet model reaching 88%, and the VGG19 model outperformed both with an accuracy of 91%. A comparative analysis of algorithms is presented, showcasing the VGG19 model's efficiency in detecting tumors from BUS ultrasound images, in this research paper. This comparison highlights that the VGG19 model delivers the highest accuracy in breast cancer diagnosis among the models evaluated.
