Abstract

The paper presents a framework for the detection of mass-like lesions in 3D digital breast tomosynthesis. It consists of several steps, including pre and post-processing, and a main detection block based on a Faster RCNN deep learning network. In addition to the framework, the paper describes different training steps to achieve better performance, including transfer learning using both mammographic and DBT data. The presented approach obtained third place in the recent DBT Lesion detection Challenge, DBTex, being the top approach without using an ensemble based method.
