BACKGROUND: Computer-aided detection software for automated breast ultrasound has been shown to have potential in improving the accuracy of radiologists. Alternative ways of implementing computer-aided detection, such as independent validation or pre...
Breast lesion detection employing state of the art microwave systems provide a safe, non-ionizing technique that can differentiate healthy and non-healthy tissues by exploiting their dielectric properties. In this paper, a microwave apparatus for bre...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate a deep convolutional neural network (dCNN) for detection, highlighting, and classification of ultrasound (US) breast lesions mimicking human decision-making according to the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS).
PURPOSE: We aimed to use deep learning with convolutional neural network (CNN) to discriminate between benign and malignant breast mass images from ultrasound.
BACKGROUND: Quantizing the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) criteria into different categories with the single ultrasound modality has always been a challenge. To achieve this, we proposed a two-stage grading system to automatically...
Ultrasonography images of breast mass aid in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Manually analyzing ultrasonography images is time-consuming, exhausting and subjective. Automated analyzing such images is desired. In this study, we develop a...
The main goal of this study is to build an artificial intelligence (AI) architecture for automated extraction of dual-modal image features from both shear-wave elastography (SWE) and B-mode ultrasound, and to evaluate the AI architecture for classifi...
The sonogram is currently an effective cancer screening and diagnosis way due to the convenience and harmlessness in humans. Traditionally, lesion boundary segmentation is first adopted and then classification is conducted, to reach the judgment of b...
PURPOSE: Due to the low contrast, blurry boundaries, and large amount of shadows in breast ultrasound (BUS) images, automatic tumor segmentation remains a challenging task. Deep learning provides a solution to this problem, since it can effectively e...
PURPOSE: Early diagnosis of triple-negative (TN) breast cancer is important due to its aggressive biological characteristics, poor clinical outcomes, and limited options for therapy. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential of machine lear...
