Abstract: Objectives: To analyze the performance of deep learning in isodense/obscure masses in dense breasts. To build and validate a deep learning (DL) model using core radiology principles and analyze its performance in isodense/obscure masses. To show performance on screening mammography as well as diagnostic mammography distribution. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-institution, multi-centre study with external validation. For model building, we took a 3-pronged approach. First, we explicitly taught the network to learn features other than density differences: such as spiculations and architectural distortion. Second, we used the opposite breast to enable the detection of asymmetries. Third, we systematically enhanced each image by piece-wise-linear transformation. We tested the network on a diagnostic mammography dataset (2569 images with 243 cancers, January to June 2018) and a screening mammography dataset (2146 images with 59 cancers, patient recruitment from January to April 2021) from a different centre (external validation). Results: When trained with our proposed technique (and compared with baseline network), sensitivity for malignancy increased from 82.7 to 84.7% at 0.2 False positives per image (FPI) in the diagnostic mammography dataset, 67.9 to 73.8% in the subset of patients with dense breasts, 74.6 to 85.3 in the subset of patients with isodense/obscure cancers and 84.9 to 88.7 in an external validation test set with a screening mammography distribution. We showed that our sensitivity exceeded currently reported values (0.90 at 0.2 FPI) on a public benchmark dataset (INBreast). Conclusion: Modelling traditional mammographic teaching into a DL framework can help improve cancer detection accuracy in dense breasts. Clinical relevance statement: Incorporating medical knowledge into neural network design can help us overcome some limitations associated with specific modalities. In this paper, we show how one such deep neural network can help improve performance on mammographically dense breasts. Key Points: • Although state-of-the-art deep learning networks achieve good results in cancer detection in mammography in general, isodense, obscure masses and mammographically dense breasts posed a challenge to deep learning networks. • Collaborative network design and incorporation of traditional radiology teaching into the deep learning approach helped mitigate the problem. • The accuracy of deep learning networks may be translatable to different patient distributions. We showed the results of our network on screening as well as diagnostic mammography datasets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
