Performance of Machine Learning Classification in Sonomammogram Images using BI-RADS

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

This study evaluates the classification accuracy of six modern deep‑learning architectures—VGG19, ResNet50, GoogleNet, ConvNeXt, EfficientNet, and Vision Transformers—on breast ultrasound images categorized by BI‑RADS. Using 2,945 training images and 936 validation images from 1,540 patients, the models were tested in full fine‑tuning, linear evaluation, and training‑from‑scratch settings. The best performance was achieved with full fine‑tuning, yielding 76.39 % accuracy and a 67.94 % F1 score.

Can Multimodal Decision Models Classify Breast Ultrasound Images? Benchmarking CLEF and CLEF-Flash Across Prompts and Datasets

The paper evaluates multimodal decision models, specifically CLEF and CLEF‑Flash, on 2,818 breast ultrasound images from three datasets (Dataset B, BUSI, BUS‑BRA). Using three different prompts—minimal labels, explicit classification, and sonographic criteria—the study reports accuracy, macro F1, balanced accuracy, precision, throughput, and latency. CLEF‑Flash with a clinical prompt achieves the highest accuracy across all datasets, while CLEF with a task‑guided prompt yields the best macro F1 and balanced accuracy on BUSI; however, all configurations underperform a majority‑class predictor on BUS‑BRA, highlighting frequent benign‑to‑malignant misclassifications.

Interpretable Deep Learning Models for Breast Cancer Diagnosis Using Medical Imaging

The study evaluates ten ImageNet‑pretrained deep learning models for classifying benign versus malignant breast cancer in the BreakHis histopathology dataset, using a patient‑level split. DenseNet121 achieved the highest performance with 99.4% accuracy and an AUC‑ROC of 0.999, outperforming all other models (p < 0.001). Explainability methods (Grad‑CAM, LIME, Integrated Gradients, LRP) consistently identified nuclei‑rich and glandular regions as key diagnostic features, demonstrating that transfer learning combined with explainable AI can produce accurate and interpretable breast cancer diagnostic tools.

Less Contouring, More Accuracy: Lesion-Guided ROI Deep Learning for Ovarian Ultrasound Classification

The study evaluates lesion‑guided region‑of‑interest (ROI) deep learning for ovarian ultrasound classification, comparing it to global image, lesion contour, and contour‑based radiomics approaches across two public datasets. Using four deep‑learning architectures, the lesion‑guided ROI strategy achieved the highest accuracy (93.10% on MMOTU and 97.56% on OUD) with an AUC of 0.99, while requiring less annotation effort than contour‑based methods.

BiLoG-Net: A Bi-Context Location-Guided Network for Breast Mass Segmentation and Malignancy Classification in Mammography

arXiv:2607. 10188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women worldwide, yet accurate detection and characterization of breast masses in mammography remain challenging due to subtle intensity variations, heterogeneous tissue densities, and indistinct lesion boundaries that complicate radiological interpretation.
