Abstract
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and ultrasound is a usual tool for early screening. Nowadays, deep learning technique is applied as an auxiliary tool to provide the predictive results for doctors to decide whether to make further examinations or treatments. This study aimed to develop a hybrid learning approach for breast ultrasound classification by extracting more potential features from local and multi-center ultrasound data.
