  • Achieved 91.3% average true positive rate (sensitivity).
  • Achieved 98.6% average false positive rate (specificity).
  • Demonstrated the significant role of MC modeling in classifier performance.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Bayesian classifier framework effectively detects microcalcification clusters.
  • Pattern synthesis of real MCs is vital for improving classifier accuracy.
  • Further investigation into MC modeling is recommended for enhanced breast cancer detection.
