Automated Semantic Segmentation of Cancerous Cells in Mammogram Images Using CNN Techniques
摘要
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women. As per data from the Philippine Statistics Office and the Department of Health, roughly 3% of Filipino women are likely to receive a breast cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. Mammography has proven effective in identifying even early-stage breast cancers, making annual screenings crucial, particularly for women over 40. This study attempted to construct a hybrid model that segments cancerous cells in breast mammogram images. The proposed hybrid model utilized Res- Net152 on the Encoder block of Nested UNet (UNet++) model for semantic segmentation of cancerous cells in mammography. Intersection Over Union, DICE, and Binary Cross Entropy with Logits loss were used as indicators to measure the segmentation performance of the hybrid model. Custom Pre-Processing, Data Augmentation, Hyperparameters, and Fine Tuning were utilized in the study. The researchers achieved the mean and median detection score of IOU (67.57%) and DICE (68.40%), experimental results showed that the proposed model did great with limited dataset and did not overfit or underfit according to the study of Koehrsen.
