Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence/computer-aided diagnosis (AI/CADx) and its use of radiomics have shown potential in diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer. Performance metrics such as the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) are frequently used as figures of merit for the evaluation of CADx. Methods for evaluating lesion-based measures of performance may enhance the assessment of AI/CADx pipelines, particularly in the situation of comparing performances by classifier.
