description Breast cancer, which has the highest mortality and morbidity rates among diseases affecting women, poses a significant threat to their lives and health. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have enabled innovative techniques for early breast cancer detection. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) have been used in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to identify breast tumors from mammograms. However, existing methods often face challenges in accuracy and reliability across diverse diagnostic scenarios. This paper proposes a three parallel channel artificial intelligence-based system. First, SVM distinguishes between different tumor types using local binary pattern (LBP) features. Second, a pre-trained CNN extracts features, and SVM identifies potential tumors. Third, a newly developed CNN is trained and used to classify mammogram images. Finally, a decision fusion that combines results from the three channels to enhance system performance is implemented using different rules. The proposed decision fusion-based system outperforms state-of-the-art alternatives with an overall accuracy of 99.1% using the product rule.
