Accurate breast mass segmentation of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is a great help to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, the lack of clear boundary and significant variation in mass shapes make the automatic segmentation very challe...
PURPOSE: In medical image analysis, deep learning has great application potential. Discovering a method for extracting valuable information from medical images and integrating that information closely with medical treatment has recently become a majo...
BACKGROUND: The classification of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4A (BI-RADS 4A) lesions is mostly based on the personal experience of doctors and lacks specific and clear classification standards. The development of artificial intelligence...

Breast cancer screening has been shown to significantly reduce mortality in women. The increased utilization of screening examinations has led to growing demands for rapid and accurate diagnostic reporting. In modern breast imaging centers, full-fiel...
OBJECTIVE: The study aims to assess the impact of radiomics in the clinical practice of breast ultrasound, to determine which lesions are undetermined by the software, and to discuss the future of the radiologist's role.
Incorporating human domain knowledge for breast tumor diagnosis is challenging because shape, boundary, curvature, intensity or other common medical priors vary significantly across patients and cannot be employed. This work proposes a new approach t...

OBJECTIVES: We sought to generate realistic synthetic breast ultrasound images and express virtual interpolation images of tumors using a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN).
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...
The automated whole breast ultrasound (AWBUS) is a new breast imaging technique that can depict the whole breast anatomy. To facilitate the reading of AWBUS images and support the breast density estimation, an automatic breast anatomy segmentation me...
