ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that poses a serious health threat to women. Early screening and intervention are effective methods for preventing and controlling breast cancer. In order to provide powerful auxiliary tools for doctors' diagnosis and treatment, this paper proposes a multi-task segmentation algorithm for breast cancer mammography based on deep learning. To address the problem of lesion under-detection, a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is introduced into the U-Net backbone network to extract features of small targets in both channel and spatial dimensions. To improve the training effectiveness and generalization ability of the model, deepsupervision learning is incorporated to enhance the model's recognition capability. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to other mainstream algorithms, this approach achieves better segmentation performance, significantly improving upon the original algorithm, and is more suitable for segmenting breast cancer lesions.
