Abstract

Breast cancer is a pervasive global health concern, demanding precise and timely diagnosis for effective treatment. In this research, we present an innovative approach to breast cancer segmentation using YOLOv8x-seg, a specialized variant of the YOLO (You Only Look Once) model optimized for semantic segmentation. The methodology commences with comprehensive data collection from the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of DDSM (CBIS-DDSM) dataset, which encompasses various breast conditions, and meticulous data annotation facilitated by Roboflow. The YOLOv8x-seg model is trained to achieve an F1-score of 95.27% and an IoU (Intersection over Union) of 89.51%. These metrics are indicative of the model’s ability to accurately identify and segment breast cancer anomalies within mammography images. The anticipated outcome is a model poised to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis, offering a valuable contribution to the field of medical image analysis.
