Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a higher sensitivity of early breast cancer than mammography and ultrasonography, but the specificity is lower. The purpose of this study was to develop a computerized classification method for distinguishing between benign and malignant masses by analyzing multiple MRI sequences with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our database consisted of multiple MRI sequences for 43 patients with masses. In our proposed method, the CNNs were first trained independently for each MRI sequence. The outputs of the middle layers in the trained CNNs were then inputted to a support vector machine (SVM) for distinguishing between benign and malignant masses. With the proposed method, the classification accuracy, the sensitivity, the specificity, the positive predictive value, and the negative predictive value were 88.4% (38/43), 90.0% (27/30), 84.6% (11/13), 76.9% (10/13), and 93.3% (28/30), respectively. The proposed method achieved high classification performance and would be useful in differential diagnoses of masses as diagnostic aid.
