Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with early detection significantly increasing survival rates. Ultrasound imaging is a critical diagnostic tool that aids in early detection by providing real-time…
Cancer is one of the most common and fatal diseases in the world. Breast cancer affects one in every eight women and one in every eight hundred men. Hence, our prime target should be early detection of cancer because the early detection of…
Some recent studies have described deep convolutional neural networks to diagnose breast cancer in mammograms with similar or even superior performance to that of human experts. One of the best techniques does two transfer learnings: the…
Persistence-based topological optimization deforms a point cloud $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ by minimizing objectives of the form $L(X) = \ell(\mathrm{Dgm}(X))$, where $\mathrm{Dgm}(X)$ is a persistence diagram. In practice, optimization is…
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women globally, and early detection is critical for improving survival rates. This paper introduces an innovative framework that integrates Vision Transformers (ViT) and Graph Neural Networks…
Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among women, which is also visible in men, and accounts for more than 1 in 10 new cancer diagnoses each year. It is also the second most common cause of women who die from cancer. Hence, it…
Breast cancer is a prominent health concern worldwide, currently being the secondmost common and second-deadliest type of cancer in women. While current breast cancer diagnosis mainly relies on mammography imaging, in recent years the use…
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women. Besides the primary B-mode ultrasound screening, sonographers have explored the inclusion of Doppler, strain and shear-wave elasticity imaging to advance the diagnosis. However,…
Data quality is crucial for the successful training, generalization and performance of machine learning models. We propose to measure the quality of a subset concerning the dataset it represents, using topological data analysis techniques.…
Wavelet transform of polarized fluorescence spectroscopic data of human breast tissues is found to reliably differentiate normal and malignant tissue types and isolate characteristic biochemical signatures of cancerous tissues, which can…
We develop an end-to-end training algorithm for whole-image breast cancer diagnosis based on mammograms. It requires lesion annotations only at the first stage of training. After that, a whole image classifier can be trained using only…
Screening mammograms is the gold standard for detecting breast cancer early. While a good amount of work has been performed on mammography image classification, especially with deep neural networks, there has not been much exploration into…
Medical imaging is an essential tool in many areas of medical applications, used for both diagnosis and treatment. However, reading medical images and making diagnosis or treatment recommendations require specially trained medical…
Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer death among women, emphasising the importance of early detection for improved treatment outcomes and quality of life. Mammography, the primary diagnostic imaging test, poses challenges due to the…
In this paper, we consider topological featurizations of data defined over simplicial complexes, like images and labeled graphs, obtained by convolving this data with various filters before computing persistence. Viewing a convolution…
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in women. As the primary output of breast screening, breast ultrasound (US) video contains exclusive dynamic information for cancer diagnosis. However, training models for video…
Computational topology provides a tool, persistent homology, to extract quantitative descriptors from structured objects (images, graphs, point clouds, etc). These descriptors can then be involved in optimization problems, typically as a…
Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer among women, with over 1.5 million women being diagnosed each year. Unfortunately, the survival rates for breast cancer patients in certain third-world countries, like South Africa, are alarmingly…
Survival risk stratification is an important step in clinical decision making for breast cancer management. We propose a novel deep learning approach for this purpose by integrating histopathological imaging, genetic and clinical data. It…
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide, and early detection can significantly reduce the mortality rate of breast cancer. It is crucial to take multi-scale information of tissue structure into account in the…
