Objective: One of the most significant cancers impacting the health of women is breast cancer. This study aimed to provide breast cancer classification (benign and malignant) using the transfer learning method on the ultrasound images.
Methods: In the present study, a public imaging dataset was used for the breast cancer classification. Transfer learning technique was implemented for the detection and classification of breast cancer (benign or malignant) based on the ultrasound images. The current research includes data of 150 cases of malignant and 100 normal cases obtained from the Mendeley data. The relevant dataset was partitioned into training (85% of the images) and validation (15% of the images) sets. The present study implemented Teachable Machine (teachablemachine.withgoogle.com) for predicting the benign or malignant of breast cancer tumor based on the ultrasound images.
Results: According to the experimental results, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals were 0.974 (0.923-1.0), 0.957 (0.781-0.999) and 1 (0.782-1.0), respectively.
Conclusion: The model proposed in this study gave predictions that could be useful to clinicians in classifying breast cancer based on ultrasound images. Thus, this system can be developed in mobile, web, or alternative environments and offered as a computer-aided system for the use of radiologists, pathologists or other healthcare professionals in hospitals.
