Detection of Masses in Mammogram Images Based on the Enhanced RetinaNet Network With INbreast Dataset by Wang M, Liu R, Luttrell IV J, Zhang C, Xie J

“…Additionally, we introduced transfer learning techniques into training process through leveraging pre-trained weights from other RetinaNet applications, and fine-tuned our improved model using the INbreast dataset.Results: The aforementioned innovations facilitate superior performance of the enhanced RetiaNet model on the public dataset INbreast, as evidenced by a mAP (mean average precision) of 1.0000 and TPR (true positive rate) of 1.00 at 0.00 FPPI (false positive per image) on the INbreast dataset.Conclusion: The experimental results demonstrate that our enhanced RetinaNet model defeats the existing models by having more generalization performance than other published studies, and it can also be applied to other types of patients to assist doctors in making a proper diagnosis. …”

Differential Diagnosis of Jejunum and Ileum Tumours Based on Video Capsule Endoscopy Data Using Mathematical Analysis by E. D. Fedorov, E. V. Ivanova, S. E. Rauzina, D. E. Seleznev, A. V. Budykina

“…Among them, 8 were found to be statistically significant (affecting the division of objects into groups): patient gender, gut wall/lumen deformation, path of intestinal folds, polypoid changes, vascular pattern, mucosal regularity, mucosal lobulation and colour. Using a Bayesian heterogeneous diagnostic procedure and the calculation of diagnostic factors, a three-level algorithm has been developed for the differential diagnosis of jejunum and ileum lesions.Conclusions. …”
