• Abstract summary: We investigate enhancing clinical support for breast cancer with deep learning models. We leverage a volumetric convolutional neural network to learn deep radiomic features from a pre-treatment cohort. We find that the proposed approach can achieve better performance for both grade and post-treatment response prediction.

• Abstract: Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women in Canada and the United States, representing over 25\% of all new female cancer cases. As such, there has been immense research and progress on improving screening and clinical support for breast cancer. In this paper, we investigate enhancing clinical support for breast cancer with deep learning models using a newly introduced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality called synthetic correlated diffusion imaging (CDI$^s$). More specifically, we leverage a volumetric convolutional neural network to learn volumetric deep radiomic features from a pre-treatment cohort and construct a predictor based on the learnt features for grade and post-treatment response prediction. As the first study to learn CDI$^s$-centric radiomic sequences within a deep learning perspective for clinical decision support, we evaluated the proposed approach using the ACRIN-6698 study against those learnt using gold-standard imaging modalities. We find that the proposed approach can achieve better performance for both grade and post-treatment response prediction and thus may be a useful tool to aid oncologists in improving recommendation of treatment of patients. Subsequently, the approach to leverage volumetric deep radiomic features for breast cancer can be further extended to other applications of CDI$^s$ in the cancer domain to further improve clinical support.

  This study presents a model that predicts pCR in breast cancer patients using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. Our approach extracts features from both DCE MRI and ADC using an encoder with a self-attention mechanism, leveraging radiomics to guide feature extraction from tumor-related regions.
