After verifying the capability of deep learning for basic image recognition, this chapter further extends image recognition to App-aided breast cancer diagnosis. Human cancer has been considered as the most important health problem. For medical image recognition of breast cancer, the presented approach is no longer the same as the traditional. It needs no axioms for distinguishing malignant and benign tumors, and no hand-crafted textural descriptors for feature extraction. The goal is to develop a mobile-aided diagnosis system of directly processing raw medical images. It automatically extracts features and learn filters of a deep CNN subject to labelled medical images in advance. This chapter presents a CNN architecture for diagnosing breast cancer images, illustrating effectiveness of problem solving by designing classifiers, respectively diagnosing lobular carcinoma breast cancer against phyllodes tumor and papillary carcinoma against adenosis. The performances of two classifiers for breast cancers diagnosis are separately summarized by the testing accuracy rates of 94.9% and 87.3%.
