TLDR
A deep learning study of BI-RADS density classification using MIAS, based on a lightweight Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) architecture is presented, which has achieved a test accuracy of 83.6% on average and suggests that deep learning has the potential to address the small data problem in mammography.
Abstract
Mammography is a breast imaging technique that has been widely used in breast cancer diagnosis and screening. The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) defines a six-point overall cancer risk scale from negative to highly suggestive of malignancy based on mammography, and also a four-point breast density based cancer risk scale. Automatic BI-RADS density classification of mammogram images is still a challenge. The current state of the art is about 80% on the MIAS (Mammogram Image Analysis Society) database. In this paper we present a deep learning study of BI-RADS density classification using MIAS, based on a lightweight Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) architecture. This is a small data problem as MIAS has only 322 images with ground truth, so we use image pre-processing and augmentation to solve the problem. Five-fold cross validation is used to evaluate the proposed approach, and has achieved a test accuracy of 83.6% on average. This suggests that deep learning has the potential to address the small data problem in mammography, which is prevalent in many medical image analysis tasks. The experience we have, especially in how to optimize the deep learning architecture, will benefit other researchers and medical practitioners.

Deep learning

TL;DR: Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
