Neural Transformers for Intraductal Papillary Mucosal Neoplasms (IPMN) Classification in MRI images [PDF]
Early detection of precancerous cysts or neoplasms, i.e., Intraductal Papillary Mucosal Neoplasms (IPMN), in pancreas is a challenging and complex task, and it may lead to a more favourable outcome. Once detected, grading IPMNs accurately is also necessary, since low-risk IPMNs can be under surveillance program, while high-risk IPMNs have to be ...

A Preliminary Investigation into Search and Matching for Tumour Discrimination in WHO Breast Taxonomy Using Deep Networks [PDF]
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. They include a group of malignant neoplasms with a variety of biological, clinical, and histopathological characteristics. There are more than 35 different histological forms of breast lesions that can be classified and diagnosed histologically according to cell morphology ...

Papillary Neoplasms of the Breast: A Review
Abstract Context.—Interpretation of papillary lesions of the breast remains a challenging task because of the wide morphologic spectrum encountered in the benign, atypical, and malignant subtypes. Data on clinical significance and outcome of papillary lesions, with superimposed atypia or areas similar to ductal carcinoma in situ ...

Attention-Map Augmentation for Hypercomplex Breast Cancer Classification [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most widespread neoplasm among women and early detection of this disease is critical. Deep learning techniques have become of great interest to improve diagnostic performance. However, distinguishing between malignant and benign masses in whole mammograms poses a challenge, as they appear nearly identical to an untrained eye, and ...

Breast biomecanical modeling for compression optimization in digital breast tomosynthesis [PDF]
Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates until a nearly uniform breast thickness is obtained. This technique improves image quality and reduces dose but can also be the source of discomfort and sometimes pain for the ...

Cancer of the breast: Size of neoplasm and prognosis [PDF]
In this study we utilized information obtained from more than 2000 operable breast cancer patients who had been entered since 1957 into the National Breast Project by 45 institutions. The purpose was to further evaluate the concept that the size of breast neoplasms influences patient prognosis.

Computational Intelligence Approach to Improve the Classification Accuracy of Brain Neoplasm in MRI Data [PDF]
Automatic detection of brain neoplasm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is gaining importance in many medical diagnostic applications. This report presents two improvements for brain neoplasm detection in MRI data: an advanced preprocessing technique is proposed to improve the area of interest in MRI data and a hybrid technique using Convolutional ...

A biomechanical breast model evaluated with respect to MRI data collected in three different positions [PDF]
Background: Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates in order to even out the breast thickness and to spread out the soft tissues. This technique improves exam quality but can be uncomfortable for the patient.
