Abstract

PURPOSE: The scarcity of high-quality curated labeled medical training data remains one of the major limitations in applying artificial intelligence systems to breast cancer diagnosis. Deep models for mammogram analysis and mass (or micro-calcification) detection require training with a large volume of labeled images, which are often expensive and time-consuming to collect. To reduce this challenge, we proposed a method that leverages self-supervised learning (SSL) and a deep hybrid model, named HybMNet, which combines local self-attention and fine-grained feature extraction to enhance breast cancer detection on screening mammograms.
