• Abstract summary: We propose the multi-head feature pyramid module (MHFPN) to solve the problem of unbalanced focus of target boxes during feature map fusion. Experimental studies show that, comparing to the SOTA detection baselines, our method improves by 6.58% (in AP@50) and 5.4% (in TPR@50) on the commonly used INbreast dataset.

• Abstract: Analysis of X-ray images is one of the main tools to diagnose breast cancer. The ability to quickly and accurately detect the location of masses from the huge amount of image data is the key to reducing the morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. Currently, the main factor limiting the accuracy of breast mass detection is the unequal focus on the mass boxes, leading the network to focus too much on larger masses at the expense of smaller ones. In the paper, we propose the multi-head feature pyramid module (MHFPN) to solve the problem of unbalanced focus of target boxes during feature map fusion and design a multi-head breast mass detection network (MBMDnet). Experimental studies show that, comparing to the SOTA detection baselines, our method improves by 6.58% (in AP@50) and 5.4% (in TPR@50) on the commonly used INbreast dataset, while about 6-8% improvements (in AP@20) are also observed on the public MIAS and BCS-DBT datasets.

  Computer-aided detection systems based on deep learning have shown good performance in breast cancer detection. High-density breasts show poorer detection performance since dense tissues can mask or even simulate masses. This study aims to improve the mass detection performance in high-density breasts using synthetic high-density full-field digital mammograms.
