The paper evaluates deep learning pipelines that use only apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps from diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) for breast cancer detection and segmentation. It compares various state‑of‑the‑art models and claims to be the first comprehensive assessment of ADC‑only approaches for classification, detection, and segmentation tasks. The study highlights the potential of DW-MRI as a faster, contrast‑free alternative to dynamic contrast‑enhanced MRI for breast cancer imaging.

The study presents an anatomy-aware deep learning framework that generates post-contrast breast MRI from pre-contrast images, focusing on tumor and background parenchymal enhancement regions. Using a dataset of 649 patients and 6,251 image pairs, the model incorporates breast mask consistency, lesion-region supervision, and BPE-region supervision within an image-to-image translation architecture. Quantitative metrics, a radiologist reader study, and Ki‑67 classification experiments demonstrate that the proposed method surpasses Pix2Pix, Pix2PixHD, diffusion-based synthesis, and mask-supervised baselines, while Ki‑67 performance remains comparable between real and synthetic images.
arXiv:2608. 15019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast mass segmentation is an important step in computer-aided mammography, but it remains difficult because masses can have low contrast, irregular shapes, and boundaries that blend with surrounding breast tissue.
arXiv:2607. 29394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is essential for breast cancer management, but reliance on gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) restricts use in contraindicated populations, prolongs scan protocols, and presents environmental toxicity concerns.

The paper presents a lightweight CNN‑integrated Compact Convolutional Transformer (CCT) designed for multi‑scale feature learning in breast cancer mammography. With only 250,435 parameters, the model achieved 99‑100% accuracy across three datasets using 5‑fold cross‑validation, demonstrating robust generalization. Explainable AI components were added to clarify the classification process, aiming to increase clinical trust in resource‑constrained settings.
