Classifying breast masses in volumetric whole breast ultrasound data: a 2.5-dimensional approach |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The aim of this paper is to investigate a 2.5-dimensional approach in classifying masses as benign or malignant in volumetric anisotropic voxel whole breast ultrasound data In this paper, the term 2.5-dimensional refers to the use of a series of 2-dimensional images While mammography is very effective in breast cancer screening in general, it is less sensitivity in detecting breast cancer in younger women or women with dense breasts Breast ultrasonography does not have the same limitation and is a valuable adjunct in breast cancer detection We have previously reported on the clinical value of volumetric data collected from a prototype whole breast ultrasound scanner The current study focuses on a new 2.5-dimensional approach in analyzing the volumetric whole breast ultrasound data for mass classification Sixty-three mass lesions were studied Of them 33 were malignant and 30 benign Features based on compactness, orientation, shape, depth-to-width ratio, homogeneity and posterior echo were measured Linear discriminant analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were employed for classification and performance evaluation The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.91 using all breast masses for training and testing and 0.87 using the leave-one-mass-out cross-validation method Clinically significance of the results will be evaluated using a larger dataset from multi-clinics. |
