note = "Funding Information: The Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM), developed by the Mammographic Image Analysis Research Community with support from the Breast Cancer Research Program of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, contains cases prepared by the Washington University School of Medicine and Internal Medicine. It aims at supporting the development of computer algorithms for early detection of breast cancer [8] . Mini-MIAS of the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (UK) is an archive for image processing with image datasets and programs for measurement and comparison of algorithmic performance. It addresses the analysis of breast tissue using images from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Calgary, Canada [9] . ",
