This paper presents 15 texture features based on GLCM (Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix) and GLRLM (Gray-Level Run-Length Matrix) to be used in an automatic computer system for breast cancer diagnosis. The task of the system is to distinguish benign from malignant tumors based on analysis of fine needle biopsy microscopic images. The features were tested whether they provide important diagnostic information. For this purpose the authors used a set of 550 real case medical images obtained from 50 patients of the Regional Hospital in Zielona Góra. The nuclei were isolated from other objects in the images using a hybrid segmentation method based on adaptive thresholding and kmeans clustering. Described texture features were then extracted and used in the classification procedure. Classification was performed using KNN classifier. Obtained results reaching 90% show that presented features are important and may significantly improve computer-aided breast cancer detection based on FNB images.
