Abstract:
Objective To create a large samples digital database of breast ultrasound imaging (DDBUI),which is open and can be used for scientific research,clinical training and diagnose in order to improve early diagnostic rate of breast cancer by using the database.Methods The database applies structured query language (SQL) to record the integrated resources of patients with breast masses and utilizes Brower/Server (B/S) technology to achieve universal data access.Results The database consists of 853 cases and 5780 images.So far,researchers in home and abroad have done many researches with the images in DDBUI.For example,the speckle reduction,enhancement,segmentation and classification algorithms for computer aided diagnosis (CAD).The database provides a complete shared operation platform for clinical diagnosis and teaching.Conclusions The first public database of breast ultrasound images is created which provides comprehensive information for the development and verification different CAD algorithms,and is helpful for researches,ultrasound diagnosis learning,and improving the breast cancer diagnosis.
