PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) aims to minimize the tumor size before surgery. Predicting response to NAC could reduce toxicity and delays to effective intervention. Computational analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imag...
Breast cancer ranks first among cancers affecting women's health. Our work aims to realize the intelligence of the medical ultrasound equipment with limited computational capability, which is used for the assistant detection of breast lesions. We emb...
We propose a novel BIRADS-SSDL network that integrates clinically-approved breast lesion characteristics (BIRADS features) into task-oriented semi-supervised deep learning (SSDL) for accurate diagnosis of ultrasound (US) images with a small training ...
Screening for breast cancer with mammography has been introduced in various countries over the last 30 years, initially using analog screen-film-based systems and, over the last 20 years, transitioning to the use of fully digital systems. With the in...
INTRODUCTION: We previously developed a convolutional neural networks (CNN)-based algorithm to distinguish atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) from ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) using a mammographic dataset. The purpose of this study is to further va...
Significant progress has been achieved in recent years in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical decision support. However, many AI-based systems often only provide a final prediction to the doctor without an explanation of its u...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Deep learning detection and classification from medical imagery are key components for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to efficiently support physicians leading to an accurate diagnosis of breast lesions.
BACKGROUND: For breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), pathologic complete response (pCR; no invasive or in situ) cannot be assessed non-invasively so all patients undergo surgery. The aim of our study was to develop and va...
Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease where genomic alterations, protein expression deregulation, signaling pathway alterations, hormone disruption, ethnicity and environmental determinants are involved. Due to the complexity of BC, the predi...
Fibroglandular tissue (FGT) segmentation is a crucial step for quantitative analysis of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is useful for breast cancer risk assessment. In this study, we develop an auto...
