A tool to preoperatively predict sentinel lymph node status in patients with breast cancer could minimize the need for invasive surgical examination. Radiomics has been shown to have predictive power in many classification tasks. Fully automated deep learning methods would integrate more easily into clinical workflow because they do not require manual feature extraction. However, convolutional neural networks are computationally demanding and require large datasets to train. Transfer learning can be applied to allow for shortened training time and applicable to relatively small datasets.
