Improving Mammography Malignancy Segmentation by Designing the Training Process

Abstract

We work on the breast imaging malignancy segmentation task while focusing on the training process instead of network complexity. We designed a training process based on a modified U-Net, increasing the overall segmentation performances by using both, benign and malignant data for training. Our approach makes use of only a small amount of annotated data and relies on transfer learning from a self-supervised reconstruction task, and favors explainability.
