Dibrugarh’s Dipti Deb Earns Global Acclaim for AI-Powered Breast Cancer Detection Breakthrough

DIBRUGARH: Dipti Deb, a promising research scholar from Chabua, Dibrugarh, has garnered international recognition for her groundbreaking work in developing an AI-based system for early breast cancer detection.

Currently pursuing her PhD at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, NIT Rourkela, Deb is guided by Professors Ratnakar Dash and Durga Prasad Mohapatra. Her innovative research focuses on enhancing diagnostic accuracy through advanced Artificial Intelligence techniques.

Her recent paper, “BreastHistoNet: An Efficient Breast Cancer Histopathological Image Classification Using Multi-Scale Features and Channel Recalibration,” was presented at the 47th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society in Copenhagen, Denmark. The study introduces a next-generation Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system that integrates mammogram, ultrasound, and histopathological data to significantly improve detection accuracy and reduce diagnostic delays.

The AI-powered model showcased exceptional performance during trials, earning praise from international medical and technology experts.

In addition to global attention, Dipti’s work won the Best Poster Award at the 13th International Conference on Soft Computing for Problem Solving (SocProS 2025), hosted by IIT Roorkee. Her research holds promising potential for transforming breast cancer diagnosis and treatment worldwide.
