A Feature Fusion Attention-based Deep Learning Algorithm for Mammographic Architectural Distortion Classification.

Architectural Distortion (AD) is a common abnormality in digital mammograms, alongside masses and microcalcifications. Detecting AD in dense breast tissue is particularly challenging due to its heterogeneous asymmetries and subtle presentation. Factors such as location, size, shape, texture, and variability in patterns contribute to reduced sensitivity.

Architectural Distortion-Based Digital Mammograms Classification Using Depth Wise Convolutional Neural Network.

Architectural distortion is the third most suspicious appearance on a mammogram representing abnormal regions. Architectural distortion (AD) detection from mammograms is challenging due to its subtle and varying asymmetry on breast mass and small size. Automatic detection of abnormal ADs regions in mammograms using computer algorithms at initial stages could help radiologists and doctors.

Computer Vision-Based Microcalcification Detection in Digital Mammograms Using Fully Connected Depthwise Separable Convolutional Neural Network.

Microcalcification clusters in mammograms are one of the major signs of breast cancer. However, the detection of microcalcifications from mammograms is a challenging task for radiologists due to their tiny size and scattered location inside a denser breast composition. Automatic CAD systems need to predict breast cancer at the early stages to support clinical work.
