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 ...
In current breast ultrasound computer aided diagnosis systems, the radiologist preselects a region of interest (ROI) as an input for computerised breast ultrasound image analysis. This task is time consuming and there is inconsistency among human exp...

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision support (DS) on breast ultrasound (US) lesion assessment. A multicenter retrospective review of 900 breast lesions (470/900 [52.2%] benign; 430/900 ...
To assist radiologists in breast cancer classification in automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) imaging, we propose a computer-aided diagnosis based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) that classifies breast lesions as benign and malignant. The prop...

Breast cancer accounts for the second-largest number of deaths in women around the world, and more than 8% of women will suffer from the disease in their lifetime. Mortality due to breast cancer can be reduced by its early and precise diagnosis. Many...
Accurate tracking of tissue motion is critically important for several ultrasound elastography methods. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using three published convolution neural network (CNN) models built for optical flow (hereafter r...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is a widely used screening modality for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. In this study, an effective and fast computer-aided detection (CADe) system based on a 3-D convolutional neur...
Breast cancer is a great threat to females. Ultrasound imaging has been applied extensively in diagnosis of breast cancer. Due to the poor image quality, segmentation of breast ultrasound (BUS) image remains a very challenging task. Besides, BUS imag...
