Breast segmentation and mass detection in medical images are important for diagnosis and treatment follow-up. Automation of these challenging tasks can assist radiologists by reducing the high manual workload of breast cancer analysis. In this paper,...
Advances in digital image analysis have the potential to transform the practice of breast pathology. In the near future, a move to a digital workflow offers improvements in efficiency. Coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), digital pathology can ...
Terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU) involution is the regression of milk-producing structures in the breast. Women with less TDLU involution are more likely to develop breast cancer. A major bottleneck in studying TDLU involution in large cohort studie...
BACKGROUND: Screening programs use mammography as primary diagnostic tool for detecting breast cancer at an early stage. The diagnosis of some lesions, such as microcalcifications, is still difficult today for radiologists. In this paper, we proposed...
Training of a convolutional neural network (CNN) generally requires a large dataset. However, it is not easy to collect a large medical image dataset. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of synthetic images in training CNNs and to...
The current standard for evaluating axillary nodal burden in clinically node negative breast cancer is sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). However, the accuracy of SLNB to detect nodal stage N2-3 remains debatable. Nomograms can help the decision-mak...
Accurate identification of axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement in patients with early-stage breast cancer is important for determining appropriate axillary treatment options and therefore avoiding unnecessary axillary surgery and complications. Her...
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women around the world. The development of computer-aided diagnosis tools is essential to help pathologists to accurately interpret and discriminate between malignant and benign tumors. This paper prop...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Federal legislation requires patient notification of dense mammographic breast tissue because increased density is a marker of breast cancer risk and can limit the sensitivity of mammography. As previously described, we clin...
