Deep learning-based breast lesion detection in ultrasound images has demonstrated great potential to provide objective suggestions for radiologists and improve their accuracy in diagnosing breast diseases. However, the lack of an effective feature en...
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can be used to process breast ultrasound (BUS) images with the goal of enhancing the capability of diagnosing breast cancer. Many CAD systems operate by analyzing the region-of-interest (ROI) that contains the t...
The aim of the work described here was to develop an ultrasound (US) image-based deep learning model to reduce the rate of malignancy among breast lesions diagnosed as category 4A of the Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) during the p...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Breast lesions segmentation is an important step of computer-aided diagnosis system. However, speckle noise, heterogeneous structure, and similar intensity distributions bring challenges for breast lesion segmentation.
Although the categorization of ultrasound using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) has become widespread worldwide, the problem of inter-observer variability remains. To maintain uniformity in diagnostic accuracy, we have develope...
OBJECTIVE: To develop novel deep learning network (DLN) with the incorporation of the automatic segmentation network (ASN) for morphological analysis and determined the performance for diagnosis breast cancer in automated breast ultrasound (ABUS).
PURPOSE: To investigate the ability of deep learning (DL) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for distinguishing between normal and metastatic axillary lymph nodes on ultrasound images by comparing the diagnostic performance of radiologists.
Deep learning methods, especially convolutional neural networks, have been successfully applied to lesion segmentation in breast ultrasound (BUS) images. However, pattern complexity and intensity similarity between the surrounding tissues (i.e., back...
After lung cancer, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women. If breast cancer is detected early, mortality rates in women can be reduced. Because manual breast cancer diagnosis takes a long time, an automated system is required for...
In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning method for joint classification and segmentation of breast masses based on radio-frequency (RF) ultrasound (US) data. In comparison to commonly used classification and segmentation techniques, utilizing...
