Title
Development of Whole Breast Ultrasound Viewer and Automated Mass Detection System
Abstract
Ultrasonography is one of the most important methods for breast cancer diagnosis in Japan. In general, the ultrasonography using conventional handheld probe is operator-dependent, therefore, the quality of imaging depends on the operator technique, and the ultrasound images have less objectivity. Moreover, it is difficult for radiologists to interpret using comparison of left and right breast ultrasound images, comparison of previous ultrasound images, and double reading because ultrasound images are poor reproducibility and it is difficult to record entire breast images. In order to improve such problems, we have developed whole breast viewing system with computer-aided detection approach. All of the whole breast images were obtained by the AUS-1004 (ALOKA Co., Ltd., Japan). The detection performance was 80% with 3.8 FP marks per breast. The diagnostic effectiveness of the detection results and the possible browsing methods were implied.
