OBJECTIVE: High breast density is a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to develop a deep convolutional neural network (dCNN) for the automatic classification of breast density based on the mammographic appearance of the tissue a...

Objective: Breast Cancer is the most invasive disease and fatal disease next to lung cancer in human. Early detection of breast cancer is accomplished by X-ray mammography. Mammography is the most effective and efficient technique used for detection ...
We propose a framework for localization and classification of masses in breast ultrasound images. We have experimentally found that training convolutional neural network-based mass detectors with large, weakly annotated datasets presents a non-trivia...

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Nevertheless, it is also one of the most treatable malignances if detected early. Screening for breast cancer with full field digital mammography (FFDM) has been widely ...

The identification of copy number variations (CNVs) helps the diagnosis of many diseases. One major hurdle in the path of CNVs discovery is that the boundaries of normal and aberrant regions cannot be distinguished from the raw data, since various ty...
Several computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed for mammography. They are widely used in certain countries such as the U.S. where mammography studies are conducted more frequently; however, they are not yet globally employed for cl...

For the diagnosis and treatment of breast tumors, the automatic detection of glands is a crucial step. The true segmentation of the gland is directly related to effective treatment effect of the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an autom...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop mathematical tools to predict the likelihood of recurrence after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) plus trastuzumab in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer.
Breast screening with mammography is widely recognized as the most effective method of detecting early breast cancer and has consistently demonstrated a 20-40% decrease in mortality among screened women. Despite this, the sensitivity of mammography r...
One of the methods for stratifying different molecular classes of breast cancer is the Nottingham prognostic index plus, which uses breast cancer relevant biomarkers to stain tumor tissues prepared on tissue microarray (TMA). To determine the molecul...
