Abstract

Microscopy with ultraviolet surface excitation (MUSE) is increasingly studied for intraoperative assessment of tumor margins during breast-conserving surgery to reduce the re-excision rate. Here we report a two-step classification approach using texture analysis of MUSE images to automate the margin detection. A study dataset consisting of MUSE images from 66 human breast tissues was constructed for model training and validation. Features extracted using six texture analysis methods were investigated for tissue characterization, and a support vector machine was trained for binary classification of image patches within a full image based on selected feature subsets. A weighted majority voting strategy classified a sample as tumor or normal. Using the eight most predictive features ranked by the maximum relevance minimum redundancy and Laplacian scores methods has achieved a sample classification accuracy of 92.4% and 93.0%, respectively. Local binary pattern alone has achieved an accuracy of 90.3%.
