Abstract:
Breast cancer has now become the leading cancer in women. The development of breast ultrasound artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic technology is conducive to promoting the precise diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and alleviating the heavy medical burden due to the unbalanced regional development in China. In recent years, on the basis of improving diagnostic efficiency, AI technology has been continuously combined with various clinical application scenarios, thereby providing more comprehensive and reliable evidence-based suggestions for clinical decision-making. Although AI diagnostic technologies based on conventional breast ultrasound gray-scale images and cutting-edge technologies such as three-dimensional (3D) imaging and elastography have been developed to some extent, there are still technical pain points, diffusion difficulties and ethical dilemmas in the development of AI diagnostic technologies for breast ultrasound.
