• Abstract: Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used in medical image analysis, but their performance degrade when the magnification of testing images differ from the training images. The inability of CNNs to generalize across magnification scales can result in sub-optimal performance on external datasets. This study aims to evaluate the robustness of various deep learning architectures in the analysis of breast cancer histopathological images with varying magnification scales at training and testing stages. Here we explore and compare the performance of multiple deep learning architectures, including CNN-based ResNet and MobileNet, self-attention-based Vision Transformers and Swin Transformers, and token-mixing models, such as FNet, ConvMixer, MLP-Mixer, and WaveMix. The experiments are conducted using the BreakHis dataset, which contains breast cancer histopathological images at varying magnification levels. We show that performance of WaveMix is invariant to the magnification of training and testing data and can provide stable and good classification accuracy. These evaluations are critical in identifying deep learning architectures that can robustly handle changes in magnification scale, ensuring that scale changes across anatomical structures do not disturb the inference results.

  This paper investigates the intricacies of using pretrained deep convolutional neural networks with transfer learning across diverse medical imaging datasets. It shows that the use of pretrained models as fixed feature extractors yields poor performance irrespective of the datasets. It is also found that deeper and more complex architectures did not necessarily result in the best performance.

DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.
