Deep learning of longitudinal mammogram examinations for breast cancer risk prediction.

Information in digital mammogram images has been shown to be associated with the risk of developing breast cancer. Longitudinal breast cancer screening mammogram examinations may carry spatiotemporal information that can enhance breast cancer risk prediction. No deep learning models have been designed to capture such spatiotemporal information over multiple examinations to predict the risk.

Radiomics-informed Deep Curriculum Learning for Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are traditionally trained solely using the given imaging dataset. Additional clinical information is often available along with imaging data but is mostly ignored in the current practice of data-driven deep learning modeling. In this work, we propose a novel deep curriculum learning method that utilizes radiomics information as a source of additional knowledge to guide training using customized curriculums.
