Neoplasia (tumor) indicates irregular
growth of cells due to neo-angiogenesis
Malignant tumors are called cancers
Breast cancer is one of the most
common type of cancer among women,
the second after skin cancer. 1
Breast Cancer
266,120 new cases of women breast
cancer are estimated for 2018 only in USA1
Of these, the estimated deaths
are 41.400

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Risonance
DCE-MRI
Uses magnetic fields and radio waves for
body organs image acquisition
Able to analyze the temporal enhancement
pattern of a tissue due to the flowing of a
paramagnetic contrast agent (CA)
Allows to obtain information that can not be
obtained by other imaging techniques:
Time intensity Curve (TIC)
Healty tissue/lesion discrimination
Non invasive and painless, safe to use
and strongly operator indipendent.
4D volumes:
A tridimensional volume for each
acquisition time (one pre-contrast and
others post-contrast)

Computer Aided Detection and Diagnosis systems
Medical image analysis is generally difficult
Noisy images
Often textured in complex ways
Object of interest have complex shape
Signs of clinical interest are subtle
Support physicians in the diagnostic task
Two of the most important phases are:
Lesion Detection (Segmentation): identifying a
tumor lesion
Malignancy Diagnosis (Classification): assesting
the benignity or malignancy of a tumor lesion

DCE-MR Image Registration
Image Registration
Allines two or more images of the same subject
taken at different times, from different viewpoints,
and/or by different sensors.
Used in DCE-MRI to reduce motion artefacts (such
as those due to breathing)
Several studies have shown registration effectivness on classical approaches:
Impacts on enhancement curve extimation 2
Improvements on ROC curve of a logistic regression based CAD 3

3 C.Tanner, et al., Biomedical Imaging: Nano to Macro, 2006. Does registration improve performance of a CAD system for DCE MR Mammography?
It’s aim is to realline each voxel of each post
contrast acquisition time with the
correspondent pre-contrast one.
It works trying to optimize a similarity index
between the images

Deep learning
Cascade of multiple layers of non
linear processing units for feature
extraction and transformation
Hierarchy of concepts: multiple levels
of representations learning
Automatic feature engineering
Deep Learning & CNN
Is still Registration
useful in this case?

Conclusions
Future works
Involve more patients and different datasets in order to achieve a more reliable
statistical evaluation
Consider other deep learning approaches and registration techniques to wider
demonstrate whether registration affect the DCE-MRI analisys
Our results show that Image Registration can still bring some noticeable effects to
lesion detection task by CNNs
On the other hand, tumor diagnosis with CNNs seems to be more invariant to
Registration
A possible interpretation is that CNNs are able to learn Motion invariant features
However, simple registration approaches (such as Medx3 and Medx5) are not
proved as effective as advanced ones in lesion diagnosis by CNNs
