To address the issues of limited samples, time-consuming feature design, and low accuracy in detection and classification of breast cancer pathological images, a breast cancer image classification model algorithm combining deep learning and transfer learning is proposed. This algorithm is based on the DenseNet structure of deep neural networks, and constructs a network model by introducing attention mechanisms, and trains the enhanced dataset using multi-level transfer learning. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm achieves an efficiency of over 84.0\% in the test set, with a significantly improved classification accuracy compared to previous models, making it applicable to medical breast cancer detection tasks.

Typical optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) acquisition areas on commercial devices are 3x3- or 6x6-mm. Compared to 3x3-mm angiograms with proper sampling density, 6x6-mm angiograms have significantly lower scan quality, with reduced signal-to-noise ratio and worse shadow artifacts due to undersampling. Here, we propose a deep-learning-based high-resolution angiogram reconstruction network (HARNet) to generate enhanced 6x6-mm superficial vascular complex (SVC) angiograms. The network was trained on data from 3x3-mm and 6x6-mm angiograms from the same eyes. The reconstructed 6x6-mm angiograms have significantly lower noise intensity and better vascular connectivity than the original images. The algorithm did not generate false flow signal at the noise level presented by the original angiograms. The image enhancement produced by our algorithm may improve biomarker measurements and qualitative clinical assessment of 6x6-mm OCTA.
