The relative contribution of input representation compared to architectural complexity remains insufficiently characterized in CEM. The impact of anatomically constrained preprocessing on deep learning architecture selection for benign versus malignant breast lesion classification in CEM is not well understood. The performance of different deep learning models on breast-mask images and original DICOM images has not been comprehensively evaluated.

Conventional convolutional neural networks have limitations in modeling long-range contextual information. Simple feature concatenation or direct skip-connection fusion may not sufficiently reduce noisy or weak lesion-related responses from intermediate feature maps. Accurate breast lesion segmentation still requires effective use of both local boundary details and high-level semantic information.
