Abstract

A novel diagnosis method named SeCED-FS is proposed in this paper. The method combines the clusterer ensemble and feature selection technique to improve the diagnosis performance. At first, selective clusterer ensemble with feature selection technique is utilized to perform the classification of medical images in the two-level architecture. Then, the Regions of Interest in positively identified image are outlined by using an ensemble of Fuzzy C-Means algorithm. Case studies on real data experiments show that, the SeCED-FS holds the improved generalization ability and achieved a satisfactory result not only in the accuracy of classification but also correctly labeling the significant regions.
