Modern backbones boost AI for mammography classification and lesion localization

Researchers have explored the use of modern neural network backbones within a multi-task DETR framework to enhance mammography classification and lesion localization. The study found that advanced backbones like ConvNeXtV2 and DINOv3 significantly outperformed older residual neural network architectures. ConvNeXtV2 demonstrated particularly strong performance on the OPTIMAM dataset, while DINOv3 yielded the best results on the SGM1k cohort, indicating the critical role of backbone quality in multi-task mammography applications.
