摘要

摘要: 早期筛查和及时治疗是控制乳腺癌死亡率最为有效的方法.乳腺X线摄影检查作为医学界公认的最有效的早期乳腺癌筛检工具, 可以很好地反映出乳腺存在的异常情况.在临床应用中, 乳腺癌的X线摄影直接征象为钙化和肿块, 对乳腺X线摄影中钙化点的检测技术已经相当的成熟, 但对肿块区域的检测和分类依旧是一项具有挑战性的任务. 因此, 本文对近几年提出的基于全乳腺X线摄影的肿块检测方法进行简要综述, 分别从基于传统的乳腺肿块检测与分割方法和基于深度学习的乳腺肿块检测方法进行介绍, 并讨论了乳腺X线摄影中肿块检测未来研究的发展趋势.

Abstract: Early screening and timely treatment are the most effective ways to control the mortality of breast cancer. Mammography is recognized as the most effective early breast cancer screening tool in the medical field nowadays, and it can well reflect abnormalities in the breast. In clinical application, the direct signs of breast cancer in mammography are calcification and mass. The detection technique of calcification in mammography is quite mature, but the detection and classification of the breast mass is still a challenging task. Therefore, this paper briefly reviews the methods of mass detection based on full mammography in recent years. We introduce the mass detection methods based on traditional mass detection and segmentation methods and deep learning mass detection methods, respectively. Finally, we summarize the proposed mass detection methods, and we also discuss the development trend of future research on mass detection in mammography.

表 2 基于传统的乳腺肿块检测与分割方法总结

Table 2 Summary of traditional methods for mass detection and segmentation in mammography

方法名称	解决问题	优点	缺点
基于图像增强	乳腺肿块呈现的形态各异, 直接提取图像的低层特征难以区分肿块与正常组织	可以提高肿块与乳腺正常组织对比度, 是提升乳腺肿块区域的检测与分割效果的关键	适用于具有一定显著性特征的乳腺肿块检测任务, 需与传统经典检测与分割算法相结合
基于阈值分割	经典的图像分割方法, 广泛应用于医学图像分析	适用于肿块、肿瘤性疾病特点; 计算简单; 运算效率高	只考虑像素本身的灰度值, 缺乏对空间特征的考虑
基于模板匹配	人工设计的检测模型泛化能力很有限, 对特征形态各异的肿块没有很好的鲁棒性特征表示	思路和实现方法相对简单, 不需要设计复杂的特征提取方案, 也不需要对乳腺组织进行细致分割	需要特征丰富的组织模板; 计算成本高、时间开销大
基于特定医学理论知识的形态学特征模型	有效利用乳腺肿块的相关临床观察特点和诊断经验, 提出对乳腺肿块形态特征假设	将医学知识和计算机技术有效结合, 更科学、更准确地提出目标病灶处理方案	模型设计通常具有高复杂性的多参数特点; 选择和优化模型中参数存在困难
组合分割	利用不同分割技术, 弥补各种分割方法自身局限性	结合多种特征可以更好地拟合乳腺肿块的特点	算法的复杂度往往很高, 还易出现过度检测的情况

表 3 基于深度学习的乳腺肿块检测方法总结

Table 3 Summary of deep learning methods for mass detection in mammography

方法名称	解决问题	优点	缺点
基于候选框的乳腺肿块检测	传统的乳腺肿块检测与分割方法局限于浅层特征, 缺少鲁棒性表达	利用候选框方法提取ROI, 结合深度学习特征提取, 在目标检测精度上具有优势	忽视引入全局信息, 使易混淆的目标区分性较差; 检测速度慢
基于回归的乳腺肿块检测	基于候选框的乳腺肿块检测效率慢, 缺少图像全局信息, 不利于医学图像病灶的检测	将检测任务转化为回归问题, 加快了检测速度; 引入图像的全局信息, 降低假阳性检测比例	对乳腺X线摄影中小肿块目标不敏感, 易漏检
基于弱监督学习的乳腺肿块定位	医学图像需要专业医生标注肿块真实的ROI, 获取大量标注的医学数据存在困难	训练数据仅为图像中目标类别的注释信息, 不需要具有精准的ROI标注, 减少医学图像数据标注成本	网络结构设计、模型训练以及目标函数优化的难度增加
基于全卷积网络的乳腺肿块检测	对乳腺X线摄影数据进行下采样调整图像大小, 将不利于捕获小肿块特征, 易出现漏检	与输入数据尺寸大小无关, 适合处理全尺寸乳腺X线摄影数据, 更易检测出细小的肿块目标	存储开销大; 计算效率低下
