The above images are related to breast cancer prediction, showing that how many women are suffering yearly.
I was the primary researcher and developer for the project "A DEEP LEARNING BASED BREAST CANCER PREDICTION". I was responsible for the entire project, from initial concept to implementation and testing. I worked under the guidance of Prof. Bhulakshmi Bonthu, who provided constructive input and innovative ideas for the project's completion. I also had to work with medical professionals like radiologists and oncologists to validate the AI predictions and get feedback to improve the model.
The project successfully developed a hybrid CNN-VGG19 model that significantly enhanced breast cancer diagnosis. The model achieved a high accuracy of
97.3% and a sensitivity of 97.1% for detecting malignant cases. It also demonstrated robust performance across various datasets. A key outcome was the model's ability to provide explainable results through visualizations like Grad-CAM heatmaps, which help clinicians trust the system's predictions.
The project's system was designed to integrate into clinical workflows, potentially reducing diagnosis time from 20 minutes to under 2 minutes per case without compromising accuracy. The work fulfilled its objective of creating a reliable decision-support tool that addresses the limitations of traditional, manual diagnostic methods.
