Abstract

See full text

A method for processing breast tomosynthesis images includes: obtaining multiple breast images, performing binarization operation and pooling operation to at least one marked breast image to obtain a lesion mask; training a convolutional neural network (CNN) according to the breast images and the lesion mask; obtaining multiple cropped images from the breast images of different layers according to a particular two-dimensional position, and inputting each cropped image into the CNN to obtain cropped heat maps; inputting the cropped heat maps into a recurrent neural network (RNN) in an order of the levels to obtain output heat maps, and combining the output heat maps to obtain a integrated heat map, and training the RNN according to the integrated heat map and the lesion mask.
