Abstract

BACKGROUND: Breast ultrasound (US) is useful for dense breasts, and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnoses of breast US images should be considered. However, the implementation of AI-based technologies in clinical practice is problematic because of the costs of introducing such approaches to hospital information systems (HISs) and the security risk of connecting HIS to the Internet to access AI services. To solve these problems, we developed a system that applies AI to the analysis of breast US images captured using a smartphone.
