Cancer detection using deep learning techniques

Abstract

Breast cancer has become the most common form of cancer in world recently having overtaken cervical cancer in urban cities. Immense research has been carried out on breast cancer and several automated machines for detection have been formed, however, they are far from perfection and medical assessments need more reliable services. Computer Assisted Diagnostics programs have been developed over the past 2 decades to help radiologists interpret mammogram screening. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN), which have surpassed human output since 2012, have been an immense success in image recognition. Deep CNNs will revolutionize the analysis of medical images. We propose a method for breast cancer detection based on Faster R-CNN, the most common frameworks for object detection. In a non-human interference mammogram, the device detects and categorizes malignant or benign lesions. The method proposed sets the current status of the INbreast database public classification scheme, AUC = 0.95. In the digital mammography challenge DREAM with AUC = 0.85, the method mentioned here was second. When the device is used as a sensor, the accuracy of the INbreast data set is extremely low with very false positive image points.
