This study aims to explore the effectiveness of deep learning algorithms for distinguishing pure (noninvasive) ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) from invasive disease for patients showing DCIS in core-needle biopsy using MRI. Preoperative axial dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI data from 352 patients were used to train, validate and test the two-step convolutional neural network (CNN) utilizing a recurrent model. Our model produced an accuracy of 69.4% and AUC of 0.721. The comparison between the proposed model and a 2D or 3D model suggests that the sequential information may provide an important support for occult invasive cancer in patients diagnosed with DCIS.
