Focusing on the issue that feature relevancy and dimension disaster problem in high-dimensional representation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) prostate tumor Region of Interesting (ROI), a prostate tumor CAD model was proposed based on Neural Network (NN) with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) feature-level fusion in MRI. Firstly, 102 dimension features were extracted form MRI prostate tumor ROI, including 6 dimension geometry features, 6 dimension statistical features, 7 dimension Hu invariant moment features, 56 dimension GLCM texture features, 3 dimension Tamura texture features and 24 dimension frequency features. Secondly, 8 dimension features with cumulative contribution rate of 89.62% were obtained by using PCA in feature-level fusion, reducing the dimension of the feature vectors. Thirdly, the classical NN, which used Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS), Back-Propagation (BP) and Gradient Descent (GD), Levenberg-Marquardt as the training algorithm, was regarded as classifier to classify the features. Finally, 180 MRI images of prostate patients were used as original data, and the prostate tumor CAD model based on NN with feature-level fusion was utilized to diagnose. The experimental results illustrate that the ability to identify benign and malignant prostate tumor of neural network with PCA feature-level fusion is improved at least 10%, and the feature-level fusion strategy is effective, which increases the feature irrelevancy to a certain extent.

Noisy data and disease misjudgment in Region of Interest (ROI) of medical image is a typical inconsistent decision question of Inconsistent Decision System (IDS), and it is becoming huge challenge in clinical diagnosis. Focusing on this problem, based on certainty degree, inclusion degree and cover degree, a decision algorithm named ItoC-CIC was proposed for ROI of prostate tumor Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) combined with macro-and-micro characteristics and global-and-local characteristics. Firstly, high-dimensional features for ROI of prostate tumor MRI were extracted to construct complete inconsistent decision table. Secondly, the equivalent classes possessing inconsistent samples were found by calculating certainty degree. Thirdly, the Score value was obtained by calculating inclusion degree and cover degree of inconsistent equivalent classes respectively, which was used to filter inconsistent samples, making inconsistent decision convert to consistent decision. Finally, test experiments of inconsistent decision tables were conducted on typical examples, UCI data and 102 features of MRI prostate tumor ROI. The experimental results illustrate that this algorithm is effective and feasible, and the conversion rate can reach 100% from inconsistent decision to consistent decision.
