The detection of brain metastases (BM) in their early stages could have a positive impact on the outcome of cancer patients. The authors previously developed a framework for detecting small BM (with diameters of 10%) were also observed in reduced labeled data scenarios (using 50% and 75% of labeled data). The results suggest that the introduced strategy could be utilized in existing medical detection applications with access to unlabeled datasets to elevate their performances.
