Abstract
The integration of deep learning (DL) in breast MRI has revolutionized the field of medical imaging, notably enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. This review discusses the substantial influence of DL technologies across various facets of breast MRI, including image reconstruction, classification, object detection, segmentation, and prediction of clinical outcomes such as response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and recurrence of breast cancer. Utilizing sophisticated models such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and generative adversarial networks, DL has improved image quality and precision, enabling more accurate differentiation between benign and malignant lesions and providing deeper insights into disease behavior and treatment responses. DL's predictive capabilities for patient-specific outcomes also suggest potential for more personalized treatment strategies. The advancements in DL are pioneering a new era in breast cancer diagnostics, promising more personalized and effective healthcare solutions. Nonetheless, the integration of this technology into clinical practice faces challenges, necessitating further research, validation, and development of legal and ethical frameworks to fully leverage its potential.
