Women in India are diagnosed with breast cancer at a far higher rate than
men. Breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer in women, accounting for more
than half of all cancer cases. It is possible to minimize the mortality rate of breast
cancer via early and precise detection. By utilizing mammography, early breast cancer
detection, and assessment is currently possible. There is still a lot of controversy about
mammography mass classifications, yet they are crucial for helping radiologists make
accurate diagnoses. Using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), it has become
possible to classify and segment images in a meaningful way. Unlabelled picture data,
on the other hand, presents challenges, and while manual labelling is inefficient, pretrained CNNs also perform poorly on genuine medical images. In this research, we
propose the use of Transformer-Based Networks (TBN) in computer vision.
Transformer-based vision models have been found to outperform convolutional models
in previous studies as well. A self-supervised learning (SSL) technique called the
Decision Tree Algorithm (DTA) is proposed in this study for processing
mammography images for diagnostic purposes. The Decision Tree Algorithm works
effectively with categorical and continuous dependent variables. In this study, the
population was divided into two or more homogeneous groups based on the most
important traits and independent factors. According to this article, a previously trained
model can be enhanced by transitioning from making predictions on uniformly tiled
regions to making predictions on the complete image. There were two studies that
utilized the Kaggle archive breast cancer sample pool, the second of which used 286
samples. In the initial experiment, the decision tree was 100 percent accurate, but in the
follow-up investigation, it was only 97.9 percent accurate.
