Abstract:

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women, with early detection playing a critical role in improving survival rates. This study introduces a novel transformer-based explainable model for breast cancer lesion segmentation (TEBLS), aimed at enhancing the accuracy and interpretability of breast cancer lesion segmentation in medical imaging. TEBLS integrates a multi-scale information fusion approach with a hierarchical vision transformer, capturing both local and global features by leveraging the self-attention mechanism. This model addresses the limitations of existing segmentation methods, such as the inability to effectively capture long-range dependencies and fine-grained semantic information. Additionally, TEBLS incorporates visualization techniques to provide insights into the segmentation process, enhancing the model's interpretability for clinical use. Experiments demonstrate that TEBLS outperforms traditional and existing deep learning-based methods in segmenting complex breast cancer lesions with variations in size, shape, and texture, achieving a mean DSC of 81.86% and a mean AUC of 97.72% on the CBIS-DDSM test set. Our model not only improves segmentation accuracy but also offers a more explainable framework, which has the potential to be used in clinical settings.
