The effect of image resolution on convolutional neural networks in breast ultrasound

Purpose: The objective of this research was to investigate the efficacy of various parameter combinations of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) models, namely MobileNet and DenseNet121, and different input image resolutions (REZs) ranging from 64×64 to 512×512 pixels, for diagnosing breast cancer....

description Purpose: The objective of this research was to investigate the efficacy of various parameter combinations of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) models, namely MobileNet and DenseNet121, and different input image resolutions (REZs) ranging from 64×64 to 512×512 pixels, for diagnosing breast cancer. Materials and methods: During the period of June 2015 to November 2020, two hospitals were involved in the collection of two-dimensional ultrasound breast images for this retrospective multicenter study. The diagnostic performance of the computer models MobileNet and DenseNet 121 was compared at different resolutions. Results: The results showed that MobileNet had the best breast cancer diagnosis performance at 320×320pixel REZ and DenseNet121 had the best breast cancer diagnosis performance at 448×448pixel REZ. Conclusion: Our study reveals a significant correlation between image resolution and breast cancer diagnosis accuracy. Through the comparison of MobileNet and DenseNet121, it is highlighted that lightweight neural networks (LW-CNNs) can achieve model performance similar to or even slightly better than large neural networks models (HW-CNNs) in ultrasound images, and LW-CNNs' prediction time per image is lower.
