Abstract

PURPOSE: Mucinous breast carcinoma (MBC) tends to be misdiagnosed as fibroadenomas (FA) due to its benign imaging characteristics. We aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model to differentiate MBC and FA based on ultrasound (US) images. The model could contribute to the diagnosis of MBC for radiologists.
