Mask R-CNN and ResNet50 were implemented to search the entire breast MRI to identify suspicious lesions, and then to further evaluate their likelihood of malignancy. The dataset included 103 malignant and 73 benign lesions in 153 patients. In detection phase using Mask R-CNN, 101 malignant, 48 benign, and 130 normal enhancing tissues were detected as suspicious. When putting them into ResNet50 for characterization, 99 cancers were correctly diagnosed as malignant, and only 16 benign lesions and 16 normal enhancing tissues remained as likely malignant. The true positive rate was 99/103=96%, and many detected false positives were dismissed during classification phase.
