Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop a BI-RADS network (DL-UM) via integrating ultrasound (US) and mammography (MG) images and explore its performance in improving breast lesion diagnosis and management when collaborating with radiologists, particularly in cases with discordant US and MG Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) classifications.
