    Abstract
    Breast cancer is a type of cancer caused by the uncontrolled growth and proliferation of cells in the breast tissue. Differentiating between benign and malignant tumors is critical in the detection and treatment of breast cancer. Traditional methods of cancer detection by manual analysis of radiological images are time-consuming and errorprone due to human factors. Modern approaches based on image classifier deep learning models provide significant results in disease detection, but are not suitable for clinical use due to their black-box structure. This paper presents a semantic segmentation method for breast cancer detection from ultrasound images. First, an ultrasound image of any resolution is divided into 256×256 pixel patches by passing it through an image cropping function. These patches are sequentially numbered and given as input to the model. Features are extracted from the 256×256 pixel patches with pre-trained ResNext models placed in the encoder network of the U-Net model. These features are processed in the default decoder network of the U-Net model and estimated at the output with three different pixel values: benign tumor areas (1), malignant tumor areas (2) and background areas (0). The prediction masks obtained at the output of the decoder network are combined sequentially to obtain the final prediction mask. The proposed method is validated on a publicly available dataset of 780 ultrasound images of female patients. The ResNext-based U-Net model achieved 73.17% intersection over union (IoU) and 83.42% dice coefficient (DC) on the test images. ResNext-based U-Net models perform better than the default U-Net model. Experts could use the proposed pixel-based segmentation method for breast cancer diagnosis and monitoring.
