Deep learning models benchmarked for breast cancer diagnosis

Researchers have evaluated ten deep learning models, including CNNs like DenseNet121 and transformer models such as ViT and Swin Transformer, for their effectiveness in diagnosing breast cancer from medical images. DenseNet121 achieved the highest accuracy at 99.4% with an AUC-ROC of 0.999, significantly outperforming other models, particularly the transformer-based architectures. The study also employed explainable AI techniques like Grad-CAM and LIME to ensure the models' predictions were interpretable and focused on diagnostically relevant regions, suggesting a path toward accurate and understandable diagnostic tools.
