The standard imaging modality for breast cancer screening is X-ray mammography, which suffers from low sensitivities in women with dense breasts and can potentially cause cancers despite a low radiation dosage. Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) is a noninvasive imaging technique that can potentially be employed to improve breast cancer early detection. However, conventional model-based algorithms for reconstructing DOT images usually produce low-quality images with limited resolution and low reconstruction accuracy. We propose to integrate deep neural networks (DNNs) with the conventional DOT reconstruction methods. This hybrid framework significantly enhances image quality. The DNNs have been trained and tested with sample data derived from clinically relevant breast models. The sample dataset contains blood vessel structures from breast structures and artificially created vessels using the Lindenmayer-system algorithm. By comparing the hybrid reconstruction with the ground truth image, we demonstrated a multi scale - structural similarity index measure (MS-SSIM) score of 0.80–0.90. Whereas using conventional reconstruction, MS-SSIM provided a much inferior score of 0.36–0.59. In terms of DOT image quality, both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the reconstructed images signify that the hybrid approach is superior to conventional methods. This improvement suggests that DOT can potentially become a viable alternative to breast cancer screening, providing a step towards the next-generation device for optical mammography.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73399,"journal":{"name":"Intelligence-based medicine","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666521223000479/pdfft?md5=b2e58d94df5991666cbcf475e94e18db&pid=1-s2.0-S2666521223000479-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139748945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adaptive region-of-interest method uses face detection and skin segmentation to generate red-green-blue signals, taking only the skin pixels of the patients while also minimising the effect of motion artefacts.
