Summary This article proposes a novel mammogram enhancement approach using adaptive intuitionistic fuzzy special set (IFSS) with deep convolutional neural network (called MECNNIFS) for visual interpretation of mammography lesions, lumps, and abnormal cells in low‐dose X‐ray images. The proposed MECNNIFS scheme utilizes the membership grade modification by IFSS on low‐dose X‐ray images (mammography). The suggested model attempts to increase the underexposed and abnormal structural regions such as breast lesions, lumps, and nodules on the mammogram. The proposed algorithm initially separates mammograms using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) into foreground and background areas and then fuzzifies the image by intuitionistic fuzzy set theory. Low‐level features of a mammogram of the adjacent part are integrated with CNN in pixel classification during the separation task stage to improve the performance. Hyperbolic regularization and hesitant score have been applied on fuzzy plane to quantify the uncertainty and fuzziness in spatial domain for the proposed contrast enhancement. Finally, an enhanced mammogram is acquired through the process of defuzzification. The results show better quality and performance for improvement of contrast and visual quality in mammograms compared with other state‐of‐the‐art methods.
