PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI) software that automatically detects and quantifies breast arterial calcifications (BAC).
INTRODUCTION: Breast arterial calcifications (BAC) are common incidental findings on routine mammograms, which have been suggested as a sex-specific biomarker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Previous work showed the efficacy of a pretrained con...
OBJECTIVE: Breast arterial calcifications (BAC) are a sex-specific cardiovascular disease biomarker that might improve cardiovascular risk stratification in women. We implemented a deep convolutional neural network for automatic BAC detection and qua...
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigate the feasibility of a deep Convolutional Neural Network (dCNN), trained with mammographic images, to detect and classify microcalcifications (MC) in breast-CT (BCT) images.
Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is a relatively recent imaging modality with increased diagnostic accuracy compared to digital mammography (DM). New deep learning (DL) models were developed that have accuracies equal to that of an avera...
In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning method for joint classification and segmentation of breast masses based on radio-frequency (RF) ultrasound (US) data. In comparison to commonly used classification and segmentation techniques, utilizing...
This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) in classifying breast microcalcification in screening mammograms. To this end, 1579 mammographic images were collected retrospectively from patients e...
PURPOSE: Measurements of breast arterial calcifications (BAC) can offer a personalized, non-invasive approach to risk-stratify women for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. We aim to detect and segment breast arterial calcificati...
BACKGROUND: Benign breast disease (BBD) is a strong breast cancer risk factor, but identifying patients that might develop invasive breast cancer remains a challenge.
BACKGROUND: New biomarkers of risk may improve breast cancer (BC) risk prediction. We developed a computational pathology method to segment benign breast disease (BBD) whole slide images into epithelium, fibrous stroma, and fat. We applied our method...
