PURPOSE: Breast mass segmentation in mammograms remains a crucial yet challenging topic in computer-aided diagnosis systems. Existing algorithms mainly used mass-centered patches to achieve mass segmentation, which is time-consuming and unstable in c...
This study aims to implement three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3D-CNN) for clinical target volume (CTV) segmentation for whole breast irradiation and investigate the focus of 3D-CNNs during decision-making using gradient-weighted class...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate a weakly supervised deep learning approach to breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessment without pixel level segmentation in order to improve the specificity of breast MRI lesion classification.

Breast density is widely adopted to reflect the likelihood of early breast cancer development. Existing methods of mammographic density classification either require steps of manual operations or achieve only moderate classification accuracy due to t...
• The use of screening breast MRI is expanding beyond high-risk women to include intermediate- and average-risk women.• The study by Pötsch et al uses a radiomics-based method to decrease the number of benign biopsies while maintaining high sensitivi...
Deep learning has shown tremendous potential in the task of object detection in images. However, a common challenge with this task is when only a limited number of images containing the object of interest are available. This is a particular issue in ...
