Classification of whole mammogram and tomosynthesis images using deep convolutional neural networks.

Mammography is the most popular technology used for the early detection of breast cancer. Manual classification of mammogram images is a hard task because of the variability of the tumor. It yields a noteworthy number of patients being called back to perform biopsies, ensuring no missing diagnosis. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has succeeded in a lot of image classification challenges dur...
