BUS-Net: Breast Tumour Detection Network for Ultrasound Images Using Bi-directional ConvLSTM and Dense Residual Connections.

Breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging has become one of the key imaging modalities for medical image diagnosis and prognosis. However, the manual process of lesion delineation from ultrasound images can incur various challenges concerning variable shape, size, intensity, curvature, or other medical priors...

      ab: Breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging has become one of the key imaging modalities for medical image diagnosis and prognosis. However, the manual process of lesion delineation from ultrasound images can incur various challenges concerning variable shape, size, intensity, curvature, or other medical priors of the lesion in the image. Therefore, computer-aided diagnostic (CADx) techniques incorporating deep learning–based neural networks are automatically used to segment the lesion from BUS images. This paper proposes an encoder-decoder-based architecture to recognize and accurately segment the lesion from two-dimensional BUS images. The architecture is utilized with the residual connection in both encoder and decoder paths; bi-directional ConvLSTM (BConvLSTM) units in the decoder extract the minute and detailed region of interest (ROI) information. BConvLSTM units and residual blocks help the network weigh ROI information more than the similar background region. Two public BUS image datasets, one with 163 images and the other with 42 images, are used. The proposed model is trained with the augmented images (ten forms) of dataset one (with 163 images), and test results are produced on the second dataset and the testing set of the first dataset—the segmentation performance yielding comparable results with the state-of-the-art segmentation methodologies. Similarly, the visual results show that the proposed approach for BUS image segmentation can accurately identify lesion contours and can potentially be applied for similar and larger datasets.
