June 9th, 2005
The efficacy of logistic regression was compared to artificial neural network in diagnosing breast masses. In a recently published study, investigators in the United States conducted a study "to compare logistic regression and artificial neural network for computer-aided diagnosis on breast sonograms." "Ultrasound images of 24 malignant and 30 benign masses were analyzed quantitatively for margin sharpness, margin echogenicity, and angular variation in margin. These features and age of patients were used with two pattern classifiers, logistic regression, and an artificial neural network to differentiate between malignant and benign masses. The...
