A comparative study of pre-trained convolutional neural networks for semantic segmentation of breast tumors in ultrasound

The automatic segmentation of breast tumors in ultrasound (BUS) has recently been addressed using convolutional neural networks (CNN). These CNN-based approaches generally modify a previously proposed CNN architecture or they design a new architecture using CNN ensembles. Although these methods have reported satisfactory results, the trained CNN architectures are often unavailable for reproducibility purposes. Moreover, these methods commonly...
