An automated 3D annotation method for breast ultrasound imaging

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
Image spatial annotation is one of the most important steps in breast ultrasound scanning examinations because follow-up evaluation, diagnosis and treatment may be performed based on the annotation. The conventional annotation method is manual and highly dependent on the operator's experience. Therefore, it is time-consuming and prone to errors.

A New Automated, High Resolution Ultrasound Breast Scanner

Ultrasonic Imaging, 1979
Ultrasound breast scanning has proved valuable in research settings but has not received widespread clinical usage due to the lack of suitable, commercially-available instruments. A new scanner designed for ultrasound breast screening has been developed with innovations in four areas: resolution, patient positioning, automation, and image storage and ...

Automated Whole-Breast Ultrasound: Advancing the Performance of Breast Cancer Screening

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2011
Screening has been successful in the early detection of some cancers, including cervical, colon, and breast. However, the success in mortality reduction by screening mammography has been limited in women with mammographically dense tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging has been used with success in the screening of high-risk women, but it is expensive ...

AUTOMATED BREAST ULTRASOUND IN BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSTICS (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Farmaciâ Kazahstana, 2022
В центре внимания находится растущий уровень заболеваемости и смертности от рака молочной железы (РМЖ) среди женщин с плотной молочной железой. Золотым стандартом диагностики РМЖ является маммография, но в настоящее время известны результаты исследований, что более 40% женщин в скрининговой группе имеют плотную молочную железу [1].

Spatial Attention Lesion Detection on Automated Breast Ultrasound

2019
Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) is widely applied in breast screening mainly because of its non-invasive, and radiation-free nature, and the high interoperator reproducibility. Due to the complexity and high volume of data, reading ABUS images is a routine but time-consuming task for sonographers.

Ultrasound of the whole breast utilizing a dedicated automated breast scanner.

Radiology, 1980
Innovations in design of a dedicated breast scanner resulted in automation of the scanning process, the production of high resolution images of the whole breast and an efficient mode of image review. The results of clinical evaluation of the prototype of this breast scanner investigating normal breasts as well as benign and malignant breast lesions are

Automated breast ultrasound for the detection and reconstruction of the breast ductal pattern

Physica Medica, 2016
Purpose Automated 3D breast ultrasound (ABUS) has shown several advantages over the conventional handheld systems and promising results in screening women with dense breasts. In addition, ABUS seems to offer a unique opportunity for mapping in vivo the normal ducts thus improving our understanding of normal/malignant relationships in the adult female ...

Automated Conformal Ultrasound Scanning for Breast Screening

Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2017
Automatic ultrasound breast screening methods are now in use, but not all the existing systems can provide a complete breast scan including axillary lymph nodes. Moreover, the existing systems perform scanning with a fixed scanning path and manual transducer adjustment is often required. It is therefore important to develop a scan system adapted to the
