Computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) is used to help radiologists in interpretation mammograms and is usually used as a second opinion by the radiologists. Improving CADx increases the treatment options and a cure is more likely. The main objective of this research is to enhance and introduce a new method for feature extraction and selection in order to build a CADx model to discriminate between cancers, benign, and healthy parenchyma. For feature extraction, we use both human features, which are obtained by Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM), and computational features. For computational feature extraction, we enhance and use two pre-existed feature extraction methods, which are the Run Difference Method (RDM) and the Spatial Gray Level Dependence Method (SGLDM). Then, we evaluate and introduce a new method for feature selection by running both of forward sequential and genetic algorithm search methods individually. Later we evaluate the results. Experimental results are obtained from a data set of 410 images taken from DDSM for different types. Our method select 14 features from 65 extracted features. We used both Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) and confusing matrix to measure the performance. In training stage, our proposed method achieved an overall classification accuracy of 94.6%, with 95.2% sensitivity and 84.8% specificity. In testing stage, our proposed method achieved an overall classification accuracy of 87%, with 88.6% sensitivity and 78.6% specificity.
