Abstract
In this paper, we propose a deep learning approach for breast lesions classification, by processing breast images obtained using an innovative acquisition system, the Tomosynthesis, a medical instrument able to acquire high-resolution images using a lower radiographic dose than normal Computed Tomography (CT). The acquired images were processed to obtain Regions Of Interest (ROIs) containing lesions of different categories. Subsequently, several pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models were evaluated as feature extractors and coupled with non-neural classifiers for discriminate among the different categories of lesions. Results showed that the use of CNNs as feature extractor and the subsequent classification using a non-neural classifier reaches high values of Accuracy, Sensitivity and Specificity.
