description Convolutional neural networks and deep learning models represent the gold standard in medical image classification. Their innovative architectures have led to notable breakthroughs in image classification and feature extraction performance. However, these advancements often remain underutilized in the medical imaging field due to the scarcity of sufficient labeled data which are needed to leverage these new features fully. While many methodologies exhibit stellar performance on benchmark data sets like DDSM or Minimias, their efficacy drastically decreases when applied to real-world data sets. This study aims to develop a tool to streamline mammogram classification that maintains high reliability across different data sources. We use images from the DDSM data set and a proprietary data set, YERAL, which comprises 943 mammograms from Mexican patients. We evaluate the performance of ensemble learning algorithms combined with prevalent deep learning models such as Alexnet, VGG-16, and Inception. The computational results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, with models achieving 82% accuracy without overtaxing our hardware capabilities, and they also highlight the efficiency of ensemble algorithms in enhancing accuracy across all test cases.
