MammoDet:钼靶影像中病灶定位方法

MammoDet: Lesion Localization Method in Mammography

  • 摘要: 钼靶图片的人工检查不仅成本高,而且放射科医生在标注病灶时需要耗费大量的时间,使得患者往往难以及时地获得检测结果,且检测结果容易受到医生的主观影响。为了能辅助医生时得到判断病理所需要的肿物、钙化区域和淋巴结3种目标的位置信息,在RetinaNet的基础上提出一种基于钼靶影像高精度病灶定位方法——MammoDet。首先以Swin Transformer作为骨干网络对钼靶图片进行多层次的特征提取;然后将提取到的不同层次的特征传递给包含跨层融合模块和隔层融合模块的双向特征金字塔网络进行多尺度特征的融合;最后通过预测头对融合后的特征进行解码与预测,得到病灶的具体位置及其对应的类别信息。在广东省肇庆市第一人民医院提供的数据集和2个公开数据集上进行实验的结果表明,与YoloV8、Mask R-CNN等经典模型相比,MammoDet具有更高的检测精度,对3种目标的均值平均精度(mAP)达到76.88%,比经典的RetinaNet提升6.26个百分点。

     

    Abstract: Manual examination of mammogram images is not only costly, but also time-consuming for radiologists to annotate lesions. As a result, patients often face delays in obtaining detection results, and these results are susceptible to subjective influence from doctors. To assist physicians in promptly obtaining the positional information of three key diagnostic targets—masses, calcification areas, and lymph nodes—a high-precision lesion localization method for mammography images based on RetinaNet, named MammoDet, is proposed. First, Swin Transformer is used as the backbone network to perform multi-level feature extraction on mammogram images. Then, the extracted features from different levels are passed to a bidirectional feature pyramid network, which incorporates cross-layer fusion modules and separate-layer fusion modules for multi-scale feature fusion. Finally, the fused features are decoded and predicted by the prediction head to obtain the specific locations of lesions and their corresponding category information. Experimental results on one dataset provided by the First People’s Hospital in Guangdong Province and two public datasets demonstrate that MammoDet achieves higher detection accuracy compared to classic models such as YoloV8 and Mask R-CNN. The mean average precision (mAP) for the three targets reaches 76.88%, which is an improvement of 6.26 percentage points over the classic RetinaNet.
