Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer among women globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), early detection and treatment can significantly reduce surgeries and improve survival rates. Since deep learning emerged in 2012, it has garnered significant research interest in breast cancer, particularly for diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and survival prediction. This review specifically focuses on the application of deep learning to breast image analysis (MRI, mammogram, and ultrasound) with a particular emphasis on radiologist involvement in the evaluation process. Studies published between 2019 and 2024 in the Scopus database will be reviewed. We further explore radiologists’ perspectives on the clinical readiness of artificial intelligence (AI) for breast image analysis. By analyzing insights from published articles, we will discuss the challenges, limitations, and future directions for this evolving field. While the review highlights the promise of deep learning in breast image analysis, it also acknowledges critical issues that must be addressed before widespread clinical integration can be achieved.
期刊介绍:
Image and Vision Computing has as a primary aim the provision of an effective medium of interchange for the results of high quality theoretical and applied research fundamental to all aspects of image interpretation and computer vision. The journal publishes work that proposes new image interpretation and computer vision methodology or addresses the application of such methods to real world scenes. It seeks to strengthen a deeper understanding in the discipline by encouraging the quantitative comparison and performance evaluation of the proposed methodology. The coverage includes: image interpretation, scene modelling, object recognition and tracking, shape analysis, monitoring and surveillance, active vision and robotic systems, SLAM, biologically-inspired computer vision, motion analysis, stereo vision, document image understanding, character and handwritten text recognition, face and gesture recognition, biometrics, vision-based human-computer interaction, human activity and behavior understanding, data fusion from multiple sensor inputs, image databases.
