dc.description.abstractConvolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently been successfully used in the medical field to detect and classify pathologies in different imaging modalities, including in mammography. One disadvantage of CNNs is the need for large training datasets, which are particularly difficult to obtain in the medical domain. One way to solve this problem is using a transfer learning approach, in which a CNN, previously pre-trained with a large amount of labelled non-medical data, is subsequently finetuned using a smaller dataset of medical data. In this paper, we use such a transfer learning approach, which is applied to three different networks that were pre-trained using the Imagenet dataset. We investigate how the performance of these pre-trained CNNs to classify lesions in mammograms is affected by the use, or not, of normalised images during the fine-tuning stage. We also assess the performance of a support vector machine fed with features extracted from the CNN and the combined use of handcrafted features to complement the CNN-extracted features. The obtained results are encouraging.pt_PT
