Resumen: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) stands out as a highly robust screening technique capable of enhancing the rate at which breast cancer is detected. It also addresses certain limitations that are inherent to mammography. Nonetheless, the process of manually examining numerous DBT slices per case is notably time-intensive. To address this, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems based on deep learning have emerged, aiming to automatically identify breast tumors within DBT images. However, the current CAD systems are hindered by a variety of challenges. These challenges encompass the diversity observed in breast density, as well as the varied shapes, sizes, and locations of breast lesions. To counteract these limitations, we propose a novel method for detecting breast tumors within DBT images. This method relies on a potent dynamic ensemble technique, along with robust individual breast tumor detectors (IBTDs). The proposed dynamic ensemble technique utilizes a deep neural network to select the optimal IBTD for detecting breast tumors, based on the characteristics of the input DBT image. The developed individual breast tumor detectors hinge on resilient deep-learning architectures and inventive data augmentation methods. This study introduces two data augmentation strategies, namely channel replication and channel concatenation. These data augmentation methods are employed to surmount the scarcity of available data and to replicate diverse scenarios encompassing variations in breast density, as well as the shapes, sizes, and locations of breast lesions. This enhances the detection capabilities of each IBTD. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated against two state-of-the-art ensemble techniques, namely non-maximum suppression (NMS) and weighted boxes fusion (WBF), finding that the proposed ensemble method achieves the best results with an F1-score of 84.96% when tested on a publicly accessible DBT dataset. When evaluated across different modalities such as breast mammography, the proposed method consistently attains superior tumor detection outcomes.
