Deep-learning model determines breast tumor staging

F-18 FDG and Ga-68 FAPI-46 images of a 51-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern in right upper lobe. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images. The lesion had F-18 FDG uptake below blood pool level but was strongly Ga-68 FAPI-46-positive. CT-guided biopsy led to pathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy because of functional inoperability.

Predictions and Grad-CAMs of ViT-based models on sample PET/CT, PET, and CT test images from the “positive” class. ViT was fine-tuned using training data for each modality. The bounding boxes depicted in the figure indicate malignant lesions. The top row of the Grad-CAMs shows important areas for “positive” predictions, and the bottom row shows areas for “negative” predictions. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
