04Test

three classes

ResNet-18 fine-tuned on BUSI with three classes. The dataset has 780 images from one center, with 118 images in the test set.

Macro-AUROC 0.972, AUROC 0.980 for malignant versus the other classes and test accuracy 0.864.

BUSI contains images from one center. The evaluation does not measure variation across equipment, operators or populations.

Limitations

Scope of this result.

  1. 01

    Single image, not the complete sweep.

  2. 02

    Single-center dataset without external validation.

  3. 03

    Grad-CAM is coarse attention, not a lesion contour or measurement.
